Hi all, I am encountering a condition where the traffic flows gets deleted when the switches are not connected to controller. while adding the flows, I make the idle_timeout=0,hard_timeout=0
and this is the flow on the switch root@ccpu:~# ovs-ofctl dump-flows Switch_S1 NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4): cookie=0x0, duration=5.397s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=5, in_port=2 actions=CONTROLLER:6666,output:1 There is this old list which is related to my problem and someone has mentioned that it is not a bug that switch deletes the flows. it says that after 5 secs of inactivity the switches deletes the flows by themselves. http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2010-February/003770.html if this is the case then, is there a way to disable this timeout? i would like to keep my flows regardless whether it is connected to controller or not. making the idle_timeout and hard_timeout as 0 has helped in non deletion of flows when they are connected to controller. any help would be welcome. if there is something that i can include as parameter while adding flows? Thanks KP
