Hi,

I am a bit confused on the use of switch configuration flags, could somebody 
throw some lights on

OFPC_FRAG_DROP and OFPC_FRAG_MASK?

What I could understand is, if the controller sets OFPC_FRAG_NORMAL, the switch 
will treat all the fragments just like any other packet and try to match every 
fragment with the flow table, and as a result, the frgaments may not match L4 
qualifiers. OFPC_FRAG_REASM will force the switch to reassemble packets before 
taking decision - so the complete flow is classified in the correct way.


OFPC_FRAG_DROP is confusing in the sense, it will make the switch drop all the 
fragmented traffic, breaking the communication!

Thanks in advance

Jojan
