Hi,

"n_packets" value of the ovs-ofctl command is the statistic information managed 
by OVS.
---
From: manpage of ovs-ofctl
  n_packets
    The number of packets that have matched the entry.
---
So the feature setting "n_packets" is not defined in OpenFlow Spec.

If you need to set "n_packets" value, how about contacting OVS devel team?

Thanks,
Iwase
