Hi all, In my experience, one thing I feel inconvenient is that some switches don't support controller-initiated connections. It would be helpful for testing and debugging if ovs-ofctl could be used. I'd propose an openflow proxy which is responsible for accepting and maintaining connections from switches, opening sockets for controllers to connect, and proxy messages between them. So that openflow tools like ovs-ofctl can operate on these switches. Another approach might be adding a "passive mode" to ovs-ofctl, which listens for connections, and opens an interactive shell to run commands.
Any ideas? Thanks, Xiao _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
