Hi all, I am trying to use OpenFlow for processing IP Packet. In my scenario, I have to introduce a shim header between the IP header and the payload. This shim header includes a flow ID. I wish the OpenFlow router could decide the forwarding port according to this ID. However, it does not belong to any of the 14-tuple matching field. I am aware of a new 'metadata' filed in OF 1.1. Do you think it's possible to leverage this field for matching my self-defined shim header? Or is there any alternative ways for handling this? Thanks a lot!
Best regards, Alex
