Hi Pettit, Can we have control on flow timeout in datapath in the latest 2.1 OVS version? Is there any way to modify the userspace daemon so that datapath flows stay longer duration? On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:21 PM, Justin Pettit wrote: > idle_timeout and hard_timeout are not related to dat

idle_timeout and hard_timeout are not related to datapath flows; they're OpenFlow concepts.  In 1.10, you can't control how long a flow stays in the datapath.  The userspace daemon manages those flows and tries to find the optimal time to leave them in place. --Justin On April 14, 2014 at 9:3

[ovs-dev] Flow timeout for datapath flows

2014-04-14 Thread Neelakantam Gaddam
Hi All, I am using openvswitch-1.10 version. Is there any way to change the values of idle_timeout and hard_timeout for the datapath flows ? My requirement is to increase the flow activity period in the kernel datapath. Please suggest me the best method to get this done. -- Thanks & Regards
