The datapath is inconsistent with the flow table

[bettswang]

Hi，everyone

In my local experiments, I found a problem with the datapath not matching the actual flow table. I couldn't understand that how it be that? The flow table tell me output is port2 , but output is port4 in the datapath. I will really appreciate if someone can tell me.

Datapth port numbers and OpenFlow port numbers are not related. You may check which datapath port number is allocated for OpenFlow ports via ovs-appctl dpif/show command. The output format is <name> <OF port>/<datapath port>: <port type> ...

Got. Thanks.
