Hi.

I'm using OpenVSwitch with tunneling to connect three nodes to an proxmox cluster.
I'm not very familiar with openvswitch as i think it is not documented well, but i have a problem which disturbs a lot.

Everytime i start a new container which has a interface connected to the bridge (ovs) the whole bridge disconnects for a few seconds. So at this point i cannot ping containers which are already running.
Even the whole bridge gets back after a short time this can't be the thing as ovs intends to act like a layer 2 switch, which doesn't disconnect all clients if i add a new port.

I know, that there is a possibillity to use OpenFlow Controllers in ovs which i don't use. Does it avoid this effect if i use one?

Does anyone has the same problem or can tell me, how i can prevent this.
This would help me a lot.

Regards,
Oliver
