[ovs-discuss] About OFP_VERSION in openflow.h

[Justin Pettit]

Open vSwitch is using OpenFlow 1.0.  That version of NOX is speaking OpenFlow 0.8.9 (the high-order bit being set (as in 0x97) indicates that it was a pre-release version).  Since the protocols are different, just changing the #define won't help.  You'll need to use the "openflow-1.0" branch of NOX.  This was discussed on this mailing list last week in the thread titled "openflow version incompatible with nox?".  KK Yap provided instructions for doing a NOX checkout in this message:

Questions about NOX are better held on the nox-dev mailing list:
