As documented in the ovs-ofctl man page, unless you are using an ancient version of OVS, there is no timeout:
idle_timeout=seconds Causes the flow to expire after the given number of seconds of inactivity. A value of 0 (the default) prevents a flow from expiring due to inactivity. hard_timeout=seconds Causes the flow to expire after the given number of seconds, regardless of activity. A value of 0 (the default) gives the flow no hard expiration deadline. --Justin On Aug 27, 2012, at 8:25 PM, Kris zhang <zhang.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I want to use ovs-ofctl command to add flow entries to implements ACL rules > function, so i hope the flow entries can be stay in the flow table > permanently, unless i delete it by using commands. > so how to do that? if cannot, then are there any other solutions? > > Thanks in advanced, > Kris > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > discuss@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
