Hello, I am developing a vendor extension that performs matching based on some string metadata and the length requirement is up to 4096 bytes. However, current specification of OpenFlow messages for experimenter fields allows only 8 bits for length:
type experimenter <----------> <----------> 16 7 1 8 8 24 (length - 4) bytes +------+-----+--+------+ +------+-----+ +------------------+ |class |field|HM|length| | zero | OUI | | body | +------+-----+--+------+ +------+-----+ +------------------+ 0xffff 0x00 I am asking for suggestions on how to extend this limit appropriately. I thought of the following: 1. Use the reserved 'zero' bits (between 'length' and 'OUI'). 2. Divide the string into multiple entries, specifying fragments' intervals in the body.
