[ovs-discuss] How does the aging work

[vis reddy]

Hello All
I am trying to understand how the mac aging works, I am porting the code a new hardware and not using the kernel data path,
 
initially when a flow miss happens,  I will create a handle_flow_miss_with_facet, will send a send_packet_in_miss to the controller
 
should I keep updating the stats of the facet? this will suffice the controller  not to age out the mac?
 
Thanks
Vishnu
