L3 Routing in Open vswitch

I want L3 routing in an Open vswitch along with some custom rules. What would be the best way to achieve this?

NOTE: I tried using the method specified here https://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/HowTo/ConfigureOVSWithLayer3Routing . It talks about setting up a virtual bridge for each interface of the switch and then directing traffic from the hosts to the LOCAL port of each bridge, following which Linux kernel routing would do the rest. However, when I followed the steps in a mininet environment, the hosts were able to ping the switch but not the other hosts. What could be wrong with here?
