Hello, I've seen a bunch of mail about issues that controller folks (particularly using nox) have run into when they send packet_out's with the in_port field being set to OFPP_CONTROLLER instead of OFPP_NONE. In particular, OVS chooses to reject packet_out's of this form.
Now, I completely agree with Ben and everyone's conclusion that the packet_out *should* use OFPP_NONE in this case, but I'm sitting at the ONF's interoperability event and this issue is apparently biting a bunch of the folks here (particularly those with implementations that derive from OVS). I'm wondering if you would be willing to accept a patch to accept both OFPP_CONTROLLER and OFPP_NONE in this case? It seems like a straight forward case of being liberal in what you accept. Please let me know what you think. If this is something that's agreeable to you, then I can look into supplying a patch. Thanks in advance, - Rob . _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
