Thanks Simon, I know how I can use it correctly from tests/ofproto.at, but it 
requires OpenFlow 1.5. I tried a new field I added, it is ok. This is really a 
good feature:-)

Hi,

its a while since I have used the code in question but I believe you can use 
something like this:

        type=select,selection_method=hash,fields(eth_dst,ip_dst,tcp_dst)

Where I believe fields can include any of the fields documented in 
ovs-fields(7).
