The mikrotik uses spec 1.0 as referenced in their website
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:OpenFlow. hmmm if you tell me that its
normal then i dont have to worry then. Sorry for the stupid question but
how do i configure port-mod openflow message ? is this done directly from
the controller ?

What i'm trying to do is to bi-casting using floodlight controller.
Therefore i need that the client which roams from AP1 to AP2 must be
deleted from AP1 therefore it should not be shown as connected with AP1.
