[Openstack] Strange: lost physical connectivity to compute hosts when using native (ryu) openflow interface

Hi Kevin, we are using the default listen address of loopback interface:

# grep -r of_listen_address /etc/neutron
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini:#of_listen_address =
127.0.0.1


        tcp/127.0.0.1:6640 -> ovsdb-server /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
-vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info
--remote=punix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key
--certificate=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate
--bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert --no-chdir
--log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log
--pidfile=/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid --detach --monitor

Thanks
