i have working dhcp agent,but vms are not getting any ip,eventhough dhcp is replying with ip address.

performed tcpdump on compute node and network node.

On network node:

Syslog:

For me it looks like dhcp replys are not leaving network node,and i dont have any blocking rules in iptables.Can any one help me in solving this.Also dhcp tap device is not accessible from outside world, can this be a reason for this,even though there is veth pair phy-br and int-br ,it is not reachable,is this expected?

ovs-vsctl list-ports br-int

  int-br-eth0
  tap2c87ec29-e7

I dont know how it can help

ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-eth0
