[ovs-discuss] openvswitch multipath

[张伟]

Hi Ben, 


This almost drove me mad. I need your help. Just now I checked the match_format() function. My understanding is that multipath_execute() function will fill in the regs member in flow structure(ovs-ofctl add-flow ovs-br0 "in_port=5, priority=100, actions=multipath(symmetric_l4, 1024, modulo_n, 2, 0, NXM_NX_REG0[0..1]), resubmit(,10)", The command key action is that writing the link result to regs in flow strucutre). Match_format will check the regs in the flow we want to match(ovs-ofctl add-flow ovs-br0 "table=10, in_port=5, reg0=0, actions=output:9", in this example, it will match reg0) and use reg0 as one part for matching the flow. 


Why my configuration does not work. From my understanding it should work. My god. Can you give me some help? In my last email, I have described the traffic and my configuration.
