Are OpenFlow controllers expected to process unsolicited feature-reply messages?
I am running the following setup: controller ----- ofprotocol ----- ofdatapath Using wireshark I see the following sequence of messages: #1 ofprotocol -> ofdatapath : hello #2 ofprotocol -> controller : hello #3 ofdatapath -> ofprotocol : hello #4 controller -> ofprotocol : hello #5 ofprotocol -> ofdatapath : features-request #6 ofdatapath -> ofprotocol : features-reply #7 ofprotocol -> controller : features-reply This means that the controller gets a features-reply even though it never sent a features-request. It appears that ofprotocol originates the features-request to the switch (which is somewhat surprising because I thought it was supposed to be a dumb pass-through) and the forwards the features-reply to the controller. _______________________________________________ nox-dev mailing list nox-dev@noxrepo.org http://noxrepo.org/mailman/listinfo/nox-dev
