[Dan Streetman]

The problem appears to be fixed in the Mitaka release.  There are
numerous openvswitch mirroring changes between Liberty and Mitaka.

Title:
  openvswitch port mirroring only mirrors egress traffic

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  New
Status in openvswitch:
  New

Bug description:
  with a liberty openstack installation (openvswitch
  2.4.1-0ubuntu0.15.10.1~cloud0) with two VMs, when vm1's interface is
  mirrored to vm2's interface, only vm1's egress traffic is mirrored;
  ingress traffic does not appear on vm2's interface.


  ubuntu at machine-15:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl list mirror 
  ubuntu at machine-15:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge br-int mirrors=@m -- --id=@qvo07e7496c-a1 get Port qvo07e7496c-a1 -- --id=@qvo91feef0f-f9 get Port qvo91feef0f-f9 -- --id=@m create Mirror name=mirror3 select-src-port=@qvo07e7496c-a1 select-dst-port=@qvo07e7496c-a1 output-port=@qvo91feef0f-f9

  on vm 1 both directions appear, as expected: 

  17:16:13.093469 IP 10.5.2.1 > 192.168.21.7: ICMP echo request, id 9031, seq 1, length 64

  on vm 2 only outgoing traffic is mirrored: 

  17:16:13.095066 IP 192.168.21.7 > 10.5.2.1: ICMP echo reply, id 9031,
  seq 1, length 64
