Maybe the FAQ can help you a little with this: Q: How do I implement a new OpenFlow message?
A: Add your new message to "enum ofpraw" and "enum ofptype" in lib/ofp-msgs.h, following the existing pattern. Then recompile and fix all of the new warnings, implementing new functionality for the new message as needed. (If you configure with --enable-Werror, as described in INSTALL.md, then it is impossible to miss any warnings.) If you need to add an OpenFlow vendor extension message for a vendor that doesn't yet have any extension messages, then you will also need to edit build-aux/extract-ofp-msgs. cheers, David > Hi, > > On my locally deployed OVS-ODL setup, I would like to make a change so > that OVS is able to understand and respond to a new type of OF message > sent from the controller.
