Hi, When packets which does not match any rule in ovs, are buffered at the ingress switch, say first n packets are buffered. Switch sends a flow_mod and message and packet_out for the buffered packets, meanwhile if some more packets of the same flow arrive (say n+1 to m), they'll also get buffered (as flow_mod) hasn't arrived yet.
Once flow_mod message arrives at the switch then subsequent packets of the flow will be forwarded but packets (n+1 to m) will still be buffered waiting for their packet_outs. This results in reordering of packets. Is there a way around this, besides from proactively setting up a flow? Is there a way to match flow_mod to existing buffered packets? thanks, swair.
