Hi. From the ovs design page, bundles only support FlowMod and PortMod messages, right?
I would like to propose an extension to ovs to support the use of PacketOut messages in OpenFlow Bundles. I think PacketOut in bundles would be a good addition because it allows OF controllers/applications to group modifications (e.g., FlowMods) with PacketOut messages in the same bundle to guarantee order (and atomicity) without resorting to BarrierRequests (as proposed in the OpenFlow spec). Additionally, it would ease the synchronization between controllers - controller A can add a PacketOut message in the bundle to let controller B know when the bundle is committed (this is the most important use case for me that cannot be achieved in other way - from what I know). Can I contribute to ovs with this feature? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
