Re: [openflowplugin-dev] Build breakage in openflowplugin due IP address NoZone changes

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 09:49:40 -0700

Hello Anil,

No, support is not being removed, but Ipv4Address.equals() is defined in a way which returns false when compared with Ipv4AddressNoZone of the same value IIRC, hence things would break.

Yes, applications can support zones and conversion from NoZone is cheap, so it is a matter of preference.

Sorry about that.

There are two aspects to this.

As an interim, the codecs from wire need to be updated to convert
Ipv4AddressNoZone to Ipv4Address, so that equality works as expected and
the breakage is recovered -- https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/71072
does that.
​This seems like regression. ietf-type (2013-07-15) supports both the version and this revision seems to be backward compatible. So are you removing the support for ipv4-address type? ​
 

Going forward, though, I believe the openflow models need to be updated
to require ipv4-address-no-zone rather than ipv4-address (and same goes
for ip-address and ipv6-address). This really is the correct thing to do
-- ipv4-address is not really the IPv4 address used in OpenFlow protocol.
​Yeah for flows /groups true, but that does not mean application can't use ipv4_address with zone.​
 

Regards,
Robert
