Hi Greg, I realized I didn’t give a lot of context.. Basically, I’m implementing a custom action which is meant to buffer an x amount of dp_packets that match a certain flow, and then send a new packet directly from the switch, containing the buffer of packets, as its payload. At some other switch this payload is then meant to be extracted so that I can retrieve the buffer of dp_packets and send the single packets contained in the buffer to the correct hosts. My action is implemented in userspace only for now since efficiency isn’t a concern for me atm. I already implemented the buffering mechanism and it works, and now I’m trying to create this custom udp packet so that I can store the buffer in it. For now I’m only trying to create a dummy udp packet with a “hello world” string as its payload just to see if I can create this custom packet however I just can’t figure out what I’m missing. My most recent attempt is the following: 1.Extract flow from one of the previously stored dp_packets 2.create a new dp_packet with dp_packet_new(65035) 3.use flow_compose() function on new packet to create a valid packet 4.add payload with dp_packet_put Code: struct flow flow; flow_extract(&dp_packet_buff1[0].packet, &flow); flow_compose(packetAggr, &flow, NULL, 0); char * payload = "hello world"; dp_packet_put(packetAggr, payload, sizeof payload);
Pseudo code looks fine but the devil is in all the other details. I need to see a patch to put it in context. - Greg _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
