Hi all, I want to confirm my understanding that OpenFlow cannot be used for packet capture.
This seems to be implied by quite a few documents where tools such as PCAP-based applications are used for this purpose, alongside OpenFlow switches. However, I cannot find any definitive answer about this, and I would like a strong “no”, if that is the answer. I could also try to put the question another way: How would one capture a significant (e.g., closer to all than to just SYN) packets of a given flows using OpenFlow (maybe a switch sending all traffic to the controller?)? Would it be efficient? Is it even sane? Thanks in advance, and sorry for the cluelessness of my question. PS: CC me on any followups, as I am not subscribed to this list. -- Olivier Mehani <olivier.meh...@nicta.com.au> PGP fingerprint: 4435 CF6A 7C8D DD9B E2DE F5F9 F012 A6E2 98C6 6655 _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
