On the simple testing for internal type port with CMD below,

Reproducing steps(start-service ovsdb-server/ovs-vswitchd on Windows VM)
New-VMSwitch -Name vsset -AllowManagementOS $False -NetAdapterName "Ethernet1 3"
Get-VMSwitch -Name vsset | Enable-VMSwitchExtension "Open vSwitch Extension"
ovs-vsctl.exe add-br br-int

ovs-vsctl --no-wait add-port br-int podvif38 -- set interface podvif38 type=internal
ovs-vsctl --no-wait add-port br-int podvif39 -- set interface podvif39 type=internal

From the CMD blow, it would show the port portvif38 and portvif39 are kept on PORT_DOWN/LINK_DOWN
PS C:\openvswitch> ovs-ofctl show br-int

From the CMD "get-netdapter" the related ports are already UP and got mac address.
PS C:\openvswitch> get-netadapter

podvif38 Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #4 52 Up 00-15-5D-04-A0-88 1 Gbps
podvif39 Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #5 53 Up 00-15-5D-04-A0-89 1 Gbps

If restart ovs-vswitchd, the port config/state would become 0/0.

From the code through, it is found that it is just implement netdev_windows_update_flags function
with a minumum support. In some cases, it needs update the flags to make it consistent with the interface
flags on kernel datapath.

/* This functionality is not really required by the datapath.

  • But vswitchd bringup expects this to be implemented. */
    static int
    netdev_windows_update_flags(struct netdev *netdev_,
    enum netdev_flags off,
    enum netdev_flags on,

When ovs port is allocated, it will do updating flag of netdev and call the netdev_class member function .update_flags to get the flags of netdev. But this function is not well implemented on ovs-windows side.
error = netdev->netdev_class->update_flags(netdev, off & ~on, on,
&old_flags);

This will cause OVS send an OpenFlow PortStatus message with invalid port state “OFPUTIL_PS_LINK_DOWN” .

The bad OpenFlow PortStatus message is like this,

I1227 02:23:23.072626    4144 pod_configuration_windows.go:179] "Received PortStatus message" message={"Version":6,"Type":12,"Length":88,"Xid":0,"Reason":0,"Desc":{"PortNo":5,"Length":72,"Pad":null,"HWAddr":"AAAAAAAA","Name":"dnNwaGVyZS0tZWFiMmUzAA==","Config":1,"State":1,"Properties":[{"Header":{"Type":0,"Length":32},"Pad":null,"Curr":0,"Advertised":0,"Supported":0,"Peer":0,"CurrSpeed":0,"MaxSpeed":0}]}}
