Hello Ben,

> What's your motivation?

I want to check the packet hit over a flow entry. For example I have two
flow entries as below

priority=10,dl_src=00:00:11:22:33:44, dl_dst=00:00:00:33:44:55
dl_type=0x0800 nw_proto=6 actions=2
priority=10,dl_src=00:00:11:22:33:44, dl_dst=00:00:00:33:44:55 dl_type=*
nw_proto=* actions=drop

Which flow entry should hit first? If I send TCP packet with same matching
fields.

Regards
Neeraj
