You can probably get away with a lot if you make the most significant byte of the extra 32 bits nonzero, because OpenFlow only specifies the format of the other 24 bits if that byte is zero and leaves the rest of the space reserved for future standardization. But that's kind of a nasty thing to do. Have you considered allowing database configuration to specify what kind of attributes are expected and how to parse them? The configuration could be P4-based, for example. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
