Hi

Using open vswitches  v.2.5.0 with virtualization on Linux/KVM and having random issues with cross VMs talk and wondering about increasing drops seen on the switch it self on my hypervisor nodes when similar drops are not really seen on any VM ports or the physical ports.

netstat 
How may I debug this further?

TIA
