I've a question about the possibility of implementing a particular method in the openvswitch.
I'm sending 2 different flows for same source-destination pair with different priority values from controller to switch. Now I want to switch between these flows( Sending packets through higher priority flow for first few packets and than through lower priority flow ). So as I've come to know by our discussion, that it is not even possible to store 2 flows in the kernel implementation, so there is no possibility of the above scenario in that case. Now, My question is, Can that be done in openvswitch? If yes, kindly guide me in this regard.
