Hello,

I was trying with newest driver downloaded from 
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/
and also on older version.

I did small test with two instances on one host. Then all traffic is going 
only via br-int bridge in ovs (no any vxlan tunnel) and problem was the same. 
But when I manually remove both tap interfeces from ovs and put it into linux 
bridge than I not have this issue. So imho there is some problem with 
openvswitch.
I'm using 1.11 version of opensvitch but yesterday I build from sources 
version 2.3.0 and still is the same :/
I'm using kernel 3.13 on compute hosts.
Really anyone have got such issue with vxlan tunnels and windows guests?

Best regards
