[ovs-dev] How ofproto-provider exploits TCAM

Hello all,

While PORTING OVS 1.2.* to a harware, ofproto-provider is necessary for
expoiting HW capabilities. There is a ofproto-provider included in the
package called ofproto-dpif.c.

Now that ofproto.c maintains the OpenFlow table (wildcarded, classifier) and
netdev maintains the rule table (exact match), if I am not mistaken. Where
do you see the TCAM (wildcarded) in this picture?


Thanks
Bibrak
