You could match on the port number in the flow table, then assign a value to, say, the NXM registers or the OXM metadata field. When the NXM packet-in format is in use (or OpenFlow 1.2+, once that is supported), then those fields will be passed to the controller. This has to be done in the flow table. There is no way to assign to a field using OVSDB. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
