Hi Ben, I am new to the code, so please pardon my questions.
Based on my current understanding of the code, the wildcard fields in flow_wildcards is used in the rule to store the wildcard mask for run-time match. OFPFW_DL_SRC_MASK, like OFPFW_NW_SRC_MASK, can be used to pass the wildcard bits in openflow messages to ovs. I don't have access to source code at this moment, but I remember there was some utility function that creates the ip mask to store in rule at rule creation, based on OFPFW_NW_SRC_MASK. Is my understanding correct? Thanks!
