Hi Ilya, many thanks for your reply. I'm just wondering what is the table "Flow_Table" of the database is intended for.
I have just tried the ovs-ofctl monitor command like this: sudo ovs-ofctl monitor s1 watch: --protocols=OpenFlow13 but the on the flow table through the controller are not printed, even the changes are to be observed via the command sudo ovs-ofctl dump-flows s1 --protocols=Openflow13 Unfortunately I'm not familiar with these commands. Do I use the monitor command correctly? I expect that the flow add and delete request that obviously reach the switch are printed by the monitor. Thank you for any help on that.
