hi; this may be a FAQ in which case i apologise (i have done some googling but couldn't find an answer). here goes:
what's the difference between "ovs-ofctl dump-flows dp0" and "ovs-dpctl dump-flows dp0"? ...where dp0 is a datapath with a single interface, eth0, added to it. they appear to give quite different, and mutually inconsistent, output here. the man pages suggest that ovs-ofctl will print entries in a "switch's tables", whereas ovs-dpctl will print entries in a "datapath's flow table", but i thought i'd found a thread on this list that implied they were the same thing (or given that one is plural and one singular, at least they were related)? underlying this is the question: which should i be paying attention to when trying to figure out why packets that i think should be getting through, aren't? (no doubt because i've put the wrong flow entries in :) in case it matters, i'm installing the flow entries via a python script running in the openflow-1.0 branch of nox, and am using master branch of openvswitch, on vanilla ubuntu 9. thanks, -- Richard Mortier [email protected] _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
