[NETVIRT-430] Ping responder on tenant network and FIP-FIP traffic between vm in same n/w in same compute is not working in stateful SG mode.

Thu, 3 May 2018 14:37:01 +0000

On the tenant network, Netvirt supports ping to router interface address using OVS flows.
This is achieved by programming the necessary flows [1] in Table21 (FIB_TABLE) to auto-respond to ping.

However, when using "Stateful SG mode", this feature is broken and ACL service is dropping [2] the packets in Table252.
This feature works fine in "SG transparent mode", when port-security is disabled on the port (obviously isn't it and when we explicitly add an ACL ingress rule to allow this traffic.
