      This is tracking the upstream effort needed to deliver the feature request described below.

      OVN logical switches currently ignore VLAN tags when making forwarding decisions. That means MAC lookups, address learning, and broadcast forwarding don't account for VLAN membership. The logical switch needs to behave like a VLAN-aware switch so that traffic is correctly isolated and forwarded per VLAN.
      We need to make sure:

      • A MAC address used on different VLANs by different workloads is forwarded correctly to each
      • Broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic stays within its VLAN's broadcast domain
      • Untagged traffic from a trunk port is classified into the port's configured default VLAN
