Following the steps to enable OVN audit logs as per this [documentation|https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.12/networking/ovn_kubernetes_network_provider/logging-network-policy.html#nw-networkpolicy-audit-configure_logging-network-policy] with a test namespace. 
The namespace has two rhel tool pods and the following network policies:
{noformat}
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: deny-all
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
  policyTypes:
  - Ingress
  - Egress
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-from-same-namespace
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
   - Ingress
   - Egress
  ingress:
    - from:
        - podSelector: {}
  egress:
    - to:
       - namespaceSelector:
          matchLabels:
            namespace: verify-audit-logging
{noformat}
 However running ping test as per the OCP docs results in the traffic being blocked by the default

However, after running curl from a pod from a different  namespace or from the same namespace I created results in the traffic being blocked by 'egressDefaultDeny' or 'ingressDefaultDeny' network policies. The traffic should be controlled using the network policies created instead of respecting the default network policies.
