neutron ovs plugin doesn't work in multi-node setup

[Simon]

Rules for cross-node traffic are not set up properly.

For example on br-tun, I have the following rules:
cookie=0x0, duration=1349.118s, table=0, n_packets=37, n_bytes=3490, priority=1,in_port=1 actions=resubmit(,1)
cookie=0x0, duration=1347.769s, table=1, n_packets=37, n_bytes=3490, priority=0,dl_dst=01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 actions=resubmit(,21)
cookie=0x0, duration=1345.371s, table=21, n_packets=37, n_bytes=3490, priority=0 actions=drop

The first one takes the packet from br-int into br-tun, and jumps to table 1 (PATCH_LV_TO_TUN). Table 1 redirects the packets to table 21 (FLOOD_TO_TUN), and table 21 has a single drop rule.

It seems that a few rules should be inserted to actually broadcast the packets via available tunnels to other nodes.

Command: ['sudo', '/usr/local/bin/neutron-rootwrap', '/etc/neutron/rootwrap.conf', 'ovs-ofctl', 'mod-flows', 'br-tun', 'hard_timeout=0,idle_timeout=0,priority=1,table=21,dl_vlan=1,actions=strip_vlan,set_tunnel:1,output:2']
Exit code: 1
Stdout: ''
Stderr: 'ovs-ofctl: unknown keyword hard_timeout\n' execute /opt/stack/neutron/neutron/agent/linux/utils.py:59

I am running on debian 7, not sure if this is specific to this OS.

OVS installed by default is 1.4.2, seems pretty old...

[Simon (xchenum)]

Not a bug.. upgraded to OVS 2.0 and it all works, so likely an issue with OVS old version.

Looks like the latest version from openvswitch.org is 1.11. I manually compiled and installed 1.9.3 and now it works.

[Simon (xchenum)]

I downloaded from trunk, and anything higher than 1.9 should work too.
