[ovs-discuss] OVS drops icmpv6 packets for actions:NORMAL

[PATEL Harsh]

Hi,
I have been using openvswitch version 2.8.2. And I haven't added any 
flows to forward traffic. Just the default one that is as followed. With 
this flow seems like my bridge BR_LAN drops incoming icmpv6 traffice 
from LAN client. There is also detailed flow as follows in that it says 
datapath actions: drop. I don't know why this is happening can you 
please help me with that?

  ovs-ofctl dump-flows BR_LAN
  cookie=0x0, duration=7210.426s, table=0, n_packets=117886, 
n_bytes=85217235, priority=0 actions=NORMAL


Detailed flow for LAN client:

ovs-appctl ofproto/trace BR_LAN dl_src=00:00:00:04:eb:d0,dl_dst=
33:33:00:00:00:fb,dl_type=0x86dd
Flow: 
ipv6,in_port=ANY,vlan_tci=0x0000,dl_src=00:00:00:04:eb:d0,dl_dst=33:33:00:00:00:fb,ipv6_src=::,ipv6_dst=::,ipv6_label=0x00000,nw_proto=0,nw_tos=0,nw_ecn=0,nw_ttl=0

bridge("BR_LAN")
----------------
  0. priority 0
     NORMAL

Final flow: unchanged
Megaflow: 
recirc_id=0,eth,ipv6,in_port=ANY,vlan_tci=0x0000/0x1fff,dl_src=00:00:00:04:eb:d0,dl_dst=33:33:00:00:00:fb,ipv6_dst=::,nw_proto=0,nw_frag=no
Datapath actions: drop



Thanks,
Harsh
