    3 This howto page demonstrates how to set up static IP traffic between two hosts connected to an OVS switch without running a separate controller and by using custom OpenFlow table rules.

    16 This howto will establish rules for allowing IP traffic to flow between host1 and host2.

    18 Later in the howto we will discuss how to setup the OVS switch to allow
    19 for host3 to observe the traffic between host1 and host2 using OpenFlow table rules. An alternative method using the Mirror feature of the OVS switch is also presented if only mirroring is required.
    20 These setups could be used for network monitoring.
