Dear all,
I am writing this post, because I saw a discussion from the beginning
of 2016 about the implementation of an additional matching field of
UDP in OVS. Maybe you can help with a similar implementation.
The discussion is here,
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2016-April/040894.html
and I found another similar patch implementing some IGMP functionality here.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/555337/
I went through the FAQ, discussion, and the aforementioned patch, and
implemented a new custom user-space matching rule.
However, when I add my field to flow rules, i.e.,
ovs-ofctl --verbose -O OpenFlow15 add-flow ovs-br
in_port=4,ip,udp,my_field=0x6,action=normal

There is only an ADD for udp,in_port=4; so my_field seems to be
ignored, but surprisingly overall the switch does what I want.
Moreover, dump-flows does not recognize this my_field properly either.
The question is what is the proper way to include custom my_field in
OF messages so that I can use it with ovs-ofctl add-flow and ovs-ofctl
dump-flows? Is there any additional answer to that in FAQ?
Or maybe the inclusion of my_field in mf_field_id of
include/openvswitch/meta-flow.h should already do the job, and I have
a mistake in my code? I mostly repeated the exercise from the
aforementioned patch again.
Thx in advance & Best regards,
Eryk Schiller
