Hello,

I would like to ask more about eviction policy of OpenFlow Flow's Table

1. If I don't specify the groups field, which entry will be removed?

2. If all flows has the same idle timeout value, is it similar to LRU ? 
the least recently used flow (will be expired soonest) will be remove ? 
I did an experiment but it seems not true.

Thanks.


Nam
