HI, is there any policy about which fields should be wildcard when using 
megaflow match?
exp 1:
 table=0, priorIty=0,actions=NORMAL
 then the datapath flow is like that:
 
recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth(src=b6:49:dd:5d:3a:a6,dst=2e:b5:7b:d6:52:c2),eth_type(0x0806),
 packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:2
 
recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth(src=2e:b5:7b:d6:52:c2,dst=b6:49:dd:5d:3a:a6),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no),
 packets:12, bytes:1176, used:0.825s, actions:3


exp 2:
table=0,in_port=1,actions=2
table=0,in_port=2,actions=1
then the datapath flow is like that:
recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no), packets:26, bytes:2548, 
used:0.441s, actions:3
recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no), packets:26, bytes:2548, 
used:0.441s, actions:2


my question is why ETH_SRC, ETH_DST is needed when using normal action?


exp 3:
table=0,in_port=1,nw_src=1.1.1.0/24, actions=2
table=0,in_port=2,nw_src=1.1.1.0/24, actions=1
then the datapath flow is like that:
recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(src=1.1.1.0/255.255.255.0,frag=no),
 packets:1863, bytes:182574, used:0.552s, actions:2
recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(src=1.1.1.0/255.255.255.0,frag=no),
 packets:1863, bytes:182574, used:0.552s, actions:3


exp 4:
table=0,in_port=1,nw_src=1.1.1.0/24, actions=mod_nw_src:1.1.1.3, output:2
table=0,in_port=2,actions=1


then the datapath flow is like that:
recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(src=1.1.1.2,frag=no), packets:37, 
bytes:3626, used:0.332s, actions:set(ipv4(src=1.1.1.3)),2
recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no), packets:37, bytes:3626, 
used:0.332s, actions:3


my question is why NW_SRC=1.1.1.2 should be all masked with 0xff, why not 
0xffffff00 like the rule we created?


in one word, is there any rules to set flow mask when using megaflow match? 
which fields should be wildcard? why? 
we can extract all fields from packets, and we can find the rule match the 
packet, but why the datapath flow match fields is not the same as userspace 
rule?
