Re: [Ryu-devel] Keep node states in the packet header

Hi, Well it's not that I absolutely need the Set-Field with mask but it looks like it's a solution to what I'm trying to do. As I wrote before I wanna keep states in the packet header and then match/set this information. Therefore I thought that using the vlan field to store this information and

Hi Clément, If you really insist on using Set-Field with mask, you should take a look at Openflow 1.5 and AFAIK the latest version of openvswitch has draft support of OF1.5 masked Set-Field action. But it's out of scope now because Ryu does not yet support Openflow 1.5. 2015-02-03 10:29 GMT+08:00

[Ryu-devel] Keep node states in the packet header

Hi, I'm trying to implement some inband mechanisms and for that I need to keep some information about the states of the nodes. Since nothing can be stored in the nodes I need to save it in the packet header. Basically I just wanna be able to remember which was the last outport used by any switch.
