If ietf ACL defined has range set for both source port and destination port, then incorrect flows get installed in the openvswitch.

I defined 4 ACLs

1. enpoint-ssh-client – sprange [0, 0] , dprange [22,22]
2. endpoint-ssh-server – sprange [22, 22] , dprange[0,0]

3. endpoint-http-client – sprange[1024,65535] , dprange[80, 80]
4. endpoint-http-server – sprange [80, 80] , dprange[1024, 65535]

The flows installed for in server for Rule 4 are incorrect

tcp,in_port=1,nw_src=192.168.2.0/24,nw_dst=192.168.2.0/24,tp_dst=1024 actions=push_nsh,.....,output:2

The flows got installed as expected in client Node for both rules 1 and 3

tcp,in_port=1,nw_src=192.168.2.0/24,nw_dst=192.168.2.0/24,tp_dst=80 actions=push_nsh,....,output:2

tcp,in_port=1,nw_src=192.168.2.0/24,nw_dst=192.168.2.0/24,tp_dst=22 actions=push_nsh,....,output:2

The flows got installed as expected in server for rule 2

tcp,in_port=1,nw_src=192.168.2.0/24,nw_dst=192.168.2.0/24,tp_src=22 actions=push_nsh,....,output:2
