Hi, during an add-flow request with CHECK_OVERLAP set, if an identical flow exists in the table, what should be the expected behavior?
Should we reject it and send an error with OFPFMFC_OVERLAP code back to the controller? The current OVS code transforms add to modify if there is an existing identical flow even if CHECK_OVERLAP is set. I guess the primary question is: are identical flows not overlapping flows? I thought the OpenFlow standard was sort of ambiguous when it defined overlapping flows: "Two flow entries overlap if a single packet may match both, and both entries have the same priority" I saw some old discussion on this. https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/openflow-spec/2009-December/000812.html At that point, it seems like, the inclination was towards interpreting identical flows as overlapping flows. Not sure, if this has been resolved. Thank you, Anup
