[ovs-discuss] OpenFlow 1.3 Groups with type select

Fri May 23 03:05:08 UTC 2014

Hello,

I have some questions regarding the running behavior of select group type :
 - How does the OVS select the bucket?

I was testing an environment where I have a group with 3 buckets, each
bucket with weight of 33 and an output action to a different port. I was
expecting that the select type would split the flow between those ports,
but even in differents runnings only the same port has been selected.

According to the openflow specification, the selection algorithm could be a
hash on some user-conﬁgured tuple or
simple round robin. Which algorithm is implemented?

I aim to use it to make a multipath scenario, so any suggestions will help.

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english).

Best regards,
 Gustavo Miotto
