[ovs-dev] [PATCH] openflow: EXT-187/OF1.4 Flow Monitors Are Under Development

[Simon Horman]

I am unsure if it is appropriate to annotate OPENFLOW-1.1+ in this way
but I wish to throw my hat into the ring for work on EXT-187/OF1.4
flow monitors.

As it stand I have a patch series that implements OF1.4 flow monitors
though it is a little rougher around the edges that I would like for
something to post to the mailing list. My intention was to get
EXT-187/OF1.4 flow monitors ready to post this week. But the scope of the
work is larger than I anticipated and accordingly it is taking longer than
I expected.

As a result I am sending this patch as a place holder.

I intend to keep working on EXT-187/OF1.4 flow monitors and
it is my hope to be able to post a working patchset in the near future.

In case you have a burning desire to look at things
what I have so far can be found at:

https://github.com/horms/openvswitch devel/flow_monitor.wip

My todo list looks like this:
* Correctly handle NX flags
  (currently OF flags are incorrectly used everywhere)
* Add EXT-187 (I have only added OF1.4+ support so far)
* Handle OF1.4 ONLY_OWN flag
