OFPT_GET_CONFIG_REPLY (xid=0x3): frags=normal miss_send_len=0
---------------------
Here p0,p1,p2 .. .. represent physical port numbers. OVS uses its own
numbering which is in an incremental way starting from 1 to the number of
ports activated.
Here, OVS port number 1 points to physical port number 1, OVS port number 2
points to physical port number 4.
So I would like to know whether there is any simple way to convert the ovs
port number to the physical number.
Some thing like:
int phyPort = getPhyPortNum(IN OVSportNum);
MORE INFO:
Following chunk of code in function --> static void
ofp_print_switch_features(struct ds *string,const struct ofp_switch_features
*osf), in ofp-print.c prints the ports numbers.
port_list = xmemdup(osf->ports, len - sizeof *osf);
qsort(port_list, n_ports, sizeof *port_list, compare_ports);
for (i = 0; i < n_ports; i++) {
*ofp_print_phy_port*(string, &port_list[i]);
}
And in ofp_print_phy_port(struct ds *string, const struct ofp_phy_port
*port) --> char name store the physical port number.
