Re: [openflow-discuss] [nox-dev] OFPC_FRAG_DROP

2011-04-26 Thread Michael Orr
It is common practice in current legacy switches to allow dropping fragments if any classification is used, even tough this does "break communications". The reasoning is that it is very likely communications would be broken anyway. Suppose you do something useful by L4 data. 1st frame gets thi

[openflow-discuss] Query on changes in OpenFlow v1.1 (action bucket + LOCAL port)

2011-04-26 Thread Aimal Khan
Hi, I am new to OpenFlow and have been working on OpenFlow v1.0. Though I haven't used v1.1, I was reading the specifications and had a few questions about it. 1. What does an 'action bucket' contain? An 'action list' (that is a list of actions where we can use each action multiple time) OR an 'a

This question is more appropriate to the openflow-discuss list copied here. Could someone that participated in the earlier spec process please comment on what the reasoning behind the OFPC_FRAG_DROP is? I see that the code is present to drop the packets in the userspace switch. So, I guess many s

Re: [openflow-discuss] Queue limit OF1.0

2011-04-26 Thread Yiannis Yiakoumis
Regarding the reference code, 8 queues are indeed an implementation issue. Marking packets in userspace to be queued in the kernel (tc) introduces a linear overhead (each queue is represented by a socket), and thus we limit the number to 8. You can try to increase the number and see whether perform

Hello, Thanks for the very fast replies. I do understand the queues are per-port, sorry. I was thinking about huge networks with dozens of slices, which one isolated from the other. And to this end i was planning to use the queuing system, but this limit of 8 queues would limit me to 8 slices, i

Hi linbo Could you please verify the connectivity by setting up an ethernet bridge (using brctl) between the eth1 and eth2? If the ping worked fine in the bridge, it should work fine with OpenFlow switching. Thanks Srini. 2011/4/26 linbo : > Yes,I tried the command " ./nox_core -v -i ptcp:6633 p

Hi, which NOX components are you running? You need do have some component(s) that will install flow entries on the switch for the ping to go through have a look here: http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/FAQ#What_does_the_traversal_of_a_packet_through_a_NOX_controlled_network_look_like.3F 2011/4
