Hi, I got a little question regarding wildcards of nw_src address. I have written a controller application which sets the wildcards as following
1. ofm->match.wildcards = htonl((((OFPFW_ALL & ~ OFPFW_DL_SRC) & ~ OFPFW_DL_DST) & ~ OFPFW_DL_TYPE) & ~ OFPFW_NW_SRC_ALL); The above statement yields wildcards 0000 0000 0011 1111 11*01 1111* 1110 0011. 2. The bits in 'bold' represents the nw_src_mask. The 0 at extreme left tells that not every bit of nw_src is wildcarded. (if that bit is '1', it will say to wildcard each and every bit of nw_src. right?) 3. The value of rest of bits represents that how many LSBs should be wildcarded. In our example, it tells that least 31 bits should be wildcarded. O.K? An IP netmask is generated with a 1 in each bit that must match and a 0 in each bit that is wildcarded. I am expecting that OVS should generate the value of nw_src_mask = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111. (On the other hand, the value of nw_dst_mask = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000). For nw_dst_mask, the results are according to expectations. But this is not the case for nw_src_mask. OVS is generating the nw_src_mask = 0x80000000. Can anybody gives some better explanation about how nw_src_mask and nw_dst_mask works? Regards -- Tahir Rauf
