Hello, 

I did read this chapter quite carefully, however I have some additional 
questions. 

Did you mean, that I should use experimenter property type to send extended 
statistics? 

Because it seems that best option would be to add for example e.g. OFPPSPT_ 
RFC2819 to ofp_port_stats_prop_type along with proper C structures. However 
this would change OpenFlow protocol, so I guess I can't do it. 

So in simple words: 
Should I implement it exactly how it is currently done for 
ofputil_append_ofp14_port_stats (OF1.4) which contains Port statistics + 
ofp_port_stats_prop_ethernet, and append RFC2819 statistics at the end using 
Experimenter property type? 

Thank you in advance. 

Br, 
Michal.

Please see section 7.3.5.5, "Port Statistics", in OpenFlow 1.5.
