Hi Team, We are working on the implementation on eviction mechanism on basis of importance as per openflow specs-1.4. We have added importance parameter in the flow entry. And are going through various commands (replace-flows, diff-flows) for enhancement.
We wanted to confirm about the "ovs-ofctl diff-flows br0 <Filename>" command gives the output with both signs (plus + & minus -) for flows which are on bridge and for flows on the file as per the case. When we are mentioning openflow13 in the command as in "ovs-ofctl -O openflow13 diff-flows br0 <Filename>", then the output received contain only the flows written in the file with a plus or minus sign i.e. it is dumping only the flows of the file and not compairing with the flows on the switch which it should ideally do. Query 1: What is the significance by mentioning openflow13 in the ovs-ofctl -O openflow13 diff-flows br0 <Filename>. Query 2: When we are adding a flow using default standard (that is not including importance in the flow) and adding the flow in the file having importance, then using "ovs-ofclt diff-flows br0 <filename>" we are getting difference in each flow as the file contains importance and the flow in switch does not. This is because we are not adding importance field in the structure ofp10_flow_mod, as discussed with you earlier. So the question is after implementing these changes how to make the test case for the same, meaning as the output is having difference so shall compare the output with the ones we are receiving after doing changes of importance.
