Hello Misak,

Could you please file a bug about those error messages that you receive from OVS?
You can use the log collector tool (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Utilities/#the-log-collector-tool)
which gathers all the required logs for us to investigate this issue.

Thanks for reporting this issue!

No particular reason, thought that will be future in oVIRT networking,
also i work in relatively big ISP with many PoP and DCs in many
cities. And I'm interested to try it some time.
