Currently OVS performs them in the order they appear in a flow_mod. In the future OVS might change the order for performance reasons, but only in ways that shouldn't matter. For example, changing the order in which a packet is output to ports should not make a difference. > e.g If I want to send packets to a port after changing any of the > parameters(take nw_dst) then logically the set_action should be performed > first and then the output actions.

You need to specify the actions in the order you want them executed. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
