Hi Ben,

Thanks for your response. Even though OVS 1.3 or later is supporting
multiple flow tables. May I know what is the use of them if controller is
not informed about multiple flow tables through OFPMT_TABLE_FEATURES. Or do
you use some other mechanism to inform the controller about supporting
multiple flow tables on the switch?


Thanks,
Kaliyaperumal K
