Usually one would use a network connection, e.g. a TCP or SSL connection, to do this. > Can someone point me to where i can find the information for this > (can this be achieved by changing some configuration attributes)?

A: Add your new message to "enum ofpraw" and "enum ofptype" in lib/ofp-msgs.h, following the existing pattern. Then recompile and fix all of the new warnings, implementing new functionality for the new message as needed. (If you configure with --enable-Werror, as described in INSTALL, then it is impossible to miss any warnings.) If you need to add an OpenFlow vendor extension message for a vendor that doesn't yet have any extension messages, then you will also need to edit build-aux/extract-ofp-msgs. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
