Hi,

When i switch traffic in OVS i see that the dataplane automatically creates
a flow that i can see with the ovs-dpctl dump-flows command. And then there
are flows that are created by the user using ofctl add-flow command. One
difference that i see between the two is that the flows added automatically
by the data plane are restricted to Layer 3 information (source IP, dest IP
and protocol type) while the user defined can go all the way till Layer 4
(UDP source port, UDP dest port, etc).

So are the ones created by the data plane automatically the "mega flows"
while the ones created by users the "micro flows"?
