Implementation notes
- A hardware flow with an idle timeout of 10 seconds gets deleted even though packets match the flow within the idle timeout
- Controller flows — flow in hardware and processing software
- DUT matches and processes incoming untagged packets for VLAN id
- Events that change the Operational Status of the OpenFlow instance
- OpenFlow influence on CPU generated packets
- OpenFlow 1.0 supports IP address masking
- Virtualization mode versus Aggregation mode — VLAN tags in packet_in messages
- Precedence level in meters
- Support for miss_len field in ‘switch configuration’ messages
- Once a controller deletes flows from Table 0, it has to re-add in order for traffic to flow through an OpenFlow switch
- OpenFlow matching traffic destined for switch MAC address
