Thanks for the pointer, Aswin.

I now have some wireshark captures, but the “Experimenter action body” could do 
with more details.

I’ve attached a screen capture of what the set-field action for ct-mark looks 
like in my wireshark. I’m running wireshark v2.4.1 which comes with the 
openflow_v4 dissector. I didn’t install anything in addition to the typical 
installation.

Is there any way to get the “Experimenter action body” decoded? The wireshark 
status bar displays “Unknown action body. (openflow_v4.action.undecoded)” when 
I click on the [Experimenter action body.] level. I am able to find the value 
that I had set as ct-mark near the end of the highlighted hex, but as far as 
the other components of the structure goes, the demarcation is unclear to me.

Thanks,
Bertrand

Hi Bertrand,
You could manually add the flow  to the OVS which has ODL set as manager. Then 
do a wireshark capture in the interface through which ODL is connected to OVS. 
You should be able to see the packet structure in flow stats in the dump.
Thanks

Hi OFP dev,

I’m implementing the support for Conntrack CT_LABEL and CT_MARK match and 
action. So far, I’ve managed to get the match portion of the support to work, 
but I am having trouble finding the right headers and structure format for the 
action portion.

The action that I would like to support is set_field used in the conntrack 
context.
e.g.
action=ct(commit, exec(set_field:1->ct_mark))

I’m adding my changes to ConntrackCodec.java. In the case of the NAT action, it 
has an explicit subtype (NXAST_NAT_SUBTYPE = 36), but I don’t see an equivalent 
for set_field of ct_label/ct_mark.

Should I be using the SET_FIELD_CODE = 25 as the type? And if so, can you point 
me to how the rest of the structure is defined?
I would appreciate some guidance on what kind of structure (headers, format) I 
need to send down to the OVS node.

Also, does the “set_field” have to be wrapped by an “exec” in this case? Again, 
I haven’t come across an “exec” header type in the ovs code.

Thanks,
Bertrand
