Hi Roberto,

NetFPGA hardware implementation was designed to work with a reference software (+ some addition) which you've been using, and won't work with OpenVswitch (at least for now).

Thank you,
Tatsuya Yabe

Hi,

for a long time I've been using a PC mounting a 1Gbit NetFPGA card as OpenFlow switch. This configuration has worked fine with the usual ofdatapath/ofprotocol daemons connected to a NOX controller. What I'm trying to do is testing OpenVSwitch 1.1.2 on this hw.

I followed the procedures described in INSTALL.Linux and INSTALL.OpenFlow (and some other step-by-step howto's found around). What I obtain is that ovs-openflowd successfully connects to the controller (either NOX or ovs-controller through the localhost interface) but two hosts connected to two NetFPGA ports cannot ping each other. From the controller output I don't see any flow coming from the NetFPGA.

Unfortunately I have not found any "official" documentation about putting OpenVSwitch to work with NetFPGA cards. This brings me to think that NetFPGA cards are not supported by OpenVSwitch.

Any idea/suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
