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

Hey Ben,
Thanks for your response. I am using Linux 4.1.52 os. And can you please tell me what happens when this Normal flows drops packet I mean which part is responsible for this failure. Because for some traffics like ipv4 unicast and ipv6 unicast this flow works. Just for icmpv6 it drops the packet.



Thanks,
Harsh

With recent OVS, I'm not seeing this problem:

    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$ ovs-vsctl add-br BR_LAN
    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$ ovs-vsctl add-port BR_LAN p0
    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$ ovs-vsctl add-port BR_LAN p1
    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$ ovs-vsctl add-port BR_LAN p2
    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$ 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
         -> no learned MAC for destination, flooding

    Final flow: unchanged
    Megaflow: recirc_id=0,eth,ipv6,in_port=ANY,dl_src=00:00:00:04:eb:d0,dl_dst=33:33:00:00:00:fb,nw_frag=no
    Datapath actions: 1,2,3,4
    [bpfaff at sigfpe tutorial]$

I also don't see the problem when I go back to the latest 2.8.x.

I wonder what's different about your setup.
