Hi all,
For a while now I have been trying to connect the wpan0 interface created by the OpenThread border router to a network bridge created by OpenVSwitch. I am quite new to both OpenThread and OVS, and unfortunately I cannot figure out the right order of operations.

I will quickly explain what I am doing right now: I run both the Thread border router and OVS on a raspberry pi. I access the raspberry pi over a WiFi hotspot from my laptop. This laptop also runs the Faucet SDN controller for OVS.

When I do not use OVS, but only The thread border router, I can ping the devices in my Thread network from my laptop, no problem.
When I add the wpan0 interface as a port to OVS, I cannot even ping the Thread devices from another port attached to the OVS bridge.

I mainly have two questions:

1. The Border router assigns some IPs to the wpan0 interface, namely some mesh local IPv6 IPs, one Link local IP and one Global IP. From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_bridge and https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/issues/ I got the impression that I maybe should move the global IP to the br0 interface, is this correct?
2. To build the border router agent I run INFRA_IF_NAME=wlan0 ./script/setup. I have tried finding out what this INFRA_IF_NAME is used for exactly, but I cannot figure out if I maybe should run this script with INFRA_IF_NAME=br0 or INFRA_IF_NAME=ovs-system. Could someone give me some clarification on what this variable is used for exactly?

Thanks a lot for any feedback/help, feel free to reach out for any clarification if anything is unclear!
