So it would be useful to shift the complete-matching of mac to fuzzy Matching, like prefix matching, reducing the number of flows and leading to communicate among different DC though configuring same mac prefix through tunnel.

DVR stability is the first class for sure, but if the code and logic could be less and simpler, there is more chance of stability. By my understanding, since DVR mac range has been configured as a prefix, so prefix based judgement instead of one by one flow setup triggered by mesh-like message notifying would simplify the code logic, thus indirectly contribute to overall stability. Also, it would remove hundreds of flows in the ovs in a middle scale cluster, very helpful for trouble shooting.

If not, it's time-consuming and low effectiveness.
