Hi
I am running on my own nox module on a topology of 5 switches. I find
two phenomena:

1, The byte number of every packet read from statistics is always 4
bytes larger than the real size.
If pcap shows the packet is of size N,  ./dpctl dump-flows will show a
size of N+4. So, if we query statistics, it is also N+4. I want to
know why there is a difference of 4?

2, I found that sometimes packets can also get redirected without an
entry in flow table, or, the switch has a bug to show the correct flow
table.
When I tcpreplay from one host to another one, packets get redirected
(tcpdump shows so), but  ./dpctl dump-flows shows no entry. Even if
the flow is so short to get counted as 0 size (first packet get lost),
an entry should still exist.
However, if I ping between these two hosts and then tcpreplay, the
entries will show correctly.
Is there any possible reason why flows get redirected but an entry is
not there?

Many thanks.
