(Adding openflowplugin-dev ML).

Hi Anil,

That patch has made the new OPF (Li design) enable the flow removed 
notification.
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/38639/
But, only with that patch, the OFP does not publish the flow removed 
notification when the statics manager is running.

To make the new OFP (Li design) publish the FlowRemoved notification even when 
the statistics manager is running, we need the following patch.
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/39906/

(And, I think the new OPF does not update the Inventory DS on the FLOW_REMOVED.)

And please note that the flow-removed notification is marked as "deprecated" on 
the master branch now.
The following patch is handling that, but I'm not sure about the decision of 
the OpenFlow Plugin project around that.
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/39552/

Regards,
Hideyuki Tai

I believe there was plan to enable the flow removed notifications in Li design. 
And i believe this patch does that

Hi all,

Just for your information.

I've filed a problem regarding to the detection of removal of flow entries in 
the new OF plugin in Bugzilla.
https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5602

And, there are mail threads about this topic in the openflowplugin-dev ML.

Subject: [ovsdb-dev] issue seen with OF plugin

Hi all,
As I mentioned yesterday, Govinda tried out the Li plugin with the elan 
service. Here’s his mail for reference-
------------------------
Hi Daya,
               Last week I tested elan support using lithium openflowplugin.  
Elan module listens to openflowplugin packet-in and flow removed event(dynamic 
learned MAC address)  messages.
In the new plugin, packet-in message is supported but flow removed event 
message processing got changed. Now applications (like ELAN) should register 
for the Inventory DS listener. Once the switch sends stats message with flow 
removed and when the flow gets removed in inventory operational DS, the 
applications (which have registered to inventory Operational datastore) will 
receive flow-removed messages.  If we disable stats we won’t receive flow 
removed messages from switch and Elan dynamic learned mac Address will remain 
present in the DS.

Thanks,
Govinda P

We are already battling performance issues, and having to enable stats to get 
flow removal events is going to kill performance further

We need to be able to process flow removals, *WITHOUT* having to rely on stats 
updates.

Anil, can you please share your thoughts?

Thanks,
daya
