Thanks Ben,
Could you please confirm this also.If there is no
corresponding flow in data path how can packets reach with out any slowness
or being dropped.
My understanding about data and control path is control path generate flow
for data path and if there is no matching flow in data path, control path
has to regenerate one,in this case there is no flow for +_10 seconds so how
can packets flow in this 10 seconds.
Regards,
Ananthan
