Hi all,
I have machines set up (say m1 and m2) and an external openflow controller
(say C).
I have an ovs-switch on m1 which has some flow rules and the machine m2 is
sending tcp packets to m1 via the ovs switch.

When the flow rules are
                        ip, nw_src=<ip of m2>, actions=NORMAL,CONTROLLER
                        actions=NORMAL
the tcp packets sent by the m2  and perhaps every ip packet sent by m2 to
m1 is sent to the controller.
dump-flows also confirms this as the packets of the first rule is not zero.

But to filter only tcp packets when i set the flow rules as
                        tcp, nw_src=<ip of m2>, actions=NORMAL,CONTROLLER
                        actions=NORMAL
no tcp packets are detected by the ovs-switch and sent to controller.
dump-flow shows that no packets are following the tcp rule.

I am unable to understand why this is occurring and am stuck at this point
from quite some time.

Please help me in this regard and tell the reason why ip packets are
detected properly but not the tcp packets.


Regards,
Arpit Kumar
