29 /* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
31 * OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
32 * are specific to each type). It does not have any provision for
33 * vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
34 * codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
35 * specification authors.
37 * This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
38 * vendor extension". The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
39 * and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
40 * vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
43 * It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
44 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values. But
45 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
46 * their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
47 * to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
49 * Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
50 * like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

121 * When this feature is enabled, Open vSwitch treats struct ofp10_flow_mod's
122 * 16-bit 'command' member as two separate fields. The upper 8 bits are used
123 * as the table ID, the lower 8 bits specify the command as usual. A table ID
124 * of 0xff is treated like a wildcarded table ID.
126 * The specific treatment of the table ID depends on the type of flow mod:
128 * - OFPFC_ADD: Given a specific table ID, the flow is always placed in that
129 * table. If an identical flow already exists in that table only, then it
130 * is replaced. If the flow cannot be placed in the specified table,
131 * either because the table is full or because the table cannot support
132 * flows of the given type, the switch replies with an OFPFMFC_TABLE_FULL
133 * error. (A controller can distinguish these cases by comparing the
134 * current and maximum number of entries reported in ofp_table_stats.)
136 * If the table ID is wildcarded, the switch picks an appropriate table
137 * itself. If an identical flow already exist in the selected flow table,
138 * then it is replaced. The choice of table might depend on the flows
139 * that are already in the switch; for example, if one table fills up then
140 * the switch might fall back to another one.
142 * - OFPFC_MODIFY, OFPFC_DELETE: Given a specific table ID, only flows
143 * within that table are matched and modified or deleted. If the table ID
144 * is wildcarded, flows within any table may be matched and modified or
147 * - OFPFC_MODIFY_STRICT, OFPFC_DELETE_STRICT: Given a specific table ID,
148 * only a flow within that table may be matched and modified or deleted.
149 * If the table ID is wildcarded and exactly one flow within any table
150 * matches, then it is modified or deleted; if flows in more than one
151 * table match, then none is modified or deleted.

691 * of flow_mod_spec elements included as part of the action.

702 * +------+---+------+---------------------------------+
704 * The meaning and format of a flow_mod_spec depends on 'src' and 'dst'. The
705 * following table summarizes the meaning of each possible combination.
706 * Details follow the table:
709 * --- --- ----------------------------------------------------------
710 * 0 0 Add match criteria based on value in a field.
711 * 1 0 Add match criteria based on an immediate value.
712 * 0 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to copy field into a different field.
713 * 1 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to load immediate value into a field.
714 * 0 2 Add OFPAT_OUTPUT action to output to port from specified field.
715 * All other combinations are undefined and not allowed.
717 * The flow_mod_spec header is followed by a source specification and a
718 * destination specification. The format and meaning of the source
719 * specification depends on 'src':
721 * - If 'src' is 0, the source bits are taken from a field in the flow to
722 * which this action is attached. (This should be a wildcarded field. If
723 * its value is fully specified then the source bits being copied have
726 * The source specification is an ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'.
727 * 'field' is an nxm_header with nxm_hasmask=0, and 'ofs' the starting bit
728 * offset within that field. The source bits are field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1].
729 * 'field' and 'ofs' are subject to the same restrictions as the source
730 * field in NXAST_REG_MOVE.
732 * - If 'src' is 1, the source bits are a constant value. The source
733 * specification is (n_bits+15)/16*2 bytes long. Taking those bytes as a
734 * number in network order, the source bits are the 'n_bits'
735 * least-significant bits. The switch will report an error if other bits
736 * in the constant are nonzero.
738 * The flow_mod_spec destination specification, for 'dst' of 0 or 1, is an
739 * ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'. 'field' is an nxm_header with
740 * nxm_hasmask=0 and 'ofs' is a starting bit offset within that field. The
741 * meaning of the flow_mod_spec depends on 'dst':
743 * - If 'dst' is 0, the flow_mod_spec specifies match criteria for the new
744 * flow. The new flow matches only if bits field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1] in a
745 * packet equal the source bits. 'field' may be any nxm_header with
746 * nxm_hasmask=0 that is allowed in NXT_FLOW_MOD.
748 * Order is significant. Earlier flow_mod_specs must satisfy any
749 * prerequisites for matching fields specified later, by copying constant
750 * values into prerequisite fields.
752 * The switch will reject flow_mod_specs that do not satisfy NXM masking
755 * - If 'dst' is 1, the flow_mod_spec specifies an NXAST_REG_LOAD action for
756 * the new flow. The new flow copies the source bits into
757 * field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1]. Actions are executed in the same order as the
760 * A single NXAST_REG_LOAD action writes no more than 64 bits, so n_bits
761 * greater than 64 yields multiple NXAST_REG_LOAD actions.
763 * The flow_mod_spec destination spec for 'dst' of 2 (when 'src' is 0) is
764 * empty. It has the following meaning:
766 * - The flow_mod_spec specifies an OFPAT_OUTPUT action for the new flow.
767 * The new flow outputs to the OpenFlow port specified by the source field.
768 * Of the special output ports with value OFPP_MAX or larger, OFPP_IN_PORT,
769 * OFPP_FLOOD, OFPP_LOCAL, and OFPP_ALL are supported. Other special ports
772 * Resource Management
773 * -------------------
775 * A switch has a finite amount of flow table space available for learning.
776 * When this space is exhausted, no new learning table entries will be learned
777 * until some existing flow table entries expire. The controller should be
778 * prepared to handle this by flooding (which can be implemented as a
779 * low-priority flow).
781 * If a learned flow matches a single TCP stream with a relatively long
782 * timeout, one may make the best of resource constraints by setting
783 * 'fin_idle_timeout' or 'fin_hard_timeout' (both measured in seconds), or
784 * both, to shorter timeouts. When either of these is specified as a nonzero
785 * value, OVS adds a NXAST_FIN_TIMEOUT action, with the specified timeouts, to
791 * The following examples give a prose description of the flow_mod_specs along
792 * with informal notation for how those would be represented and a hex dump of
793 * the bytes that would be required.
795 * These examples could work with various nx_action_learn parameters. Typical
796 * values would be idle_timeout=OFP_FLOW_PERMANENT, hard_timeout=60,
797 * priority=OFP_DEFAULT_PRIORITY, flags=0, table_id=10.

817 * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B,
818 * this would set up the flow "in_port=99, dl_dst=B,
819 * actions=load:A->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31]".
821 * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is: learn(in_port=99,
822 * NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
823 * load:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31])
825 * 2. Output to input port based on the source MAC and VLAN VID, with lookup
826 * into NXM_NX_REG1[16:31]:
828 * Match on same VLAN ID as packet:
829 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=12), 00 0c
830 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
831 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
833 * Match Ethernet destination on Ethernet source from packet:
834 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=48), 00 30
835 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_SRC), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 04 06 00 00
836 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_DST), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 02 06 00 00
838 * Output to the packet's input port:
839 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=2, n_bits=16), 10 10
840 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
842 * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B in
843 * VLAN C, this would set up the flow "dl_dst=B, vlan_vid=C,
846 * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is:
847 * learn(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
848 * output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[])
850 * 3. Here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC learning switch. It uses a
851 * 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier to see what's going on
853 * ovs-vsctl del-controller br0
854 * ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
855 * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, \

857 NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \
858 output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)"
859 * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood"
861 * You can then dump the MAC learning table with:
863 * ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1
868 * For best performance, segregate learned flows into a table that is not used
869 * for any other flows except possibly for a lowest-priority "catch-all" flow
870 * (a flow with no match criteria). If different learning actions specify
871 * different match criteria, use different tables for the learned flows.
873 * The meaning of 'hard_timeout' and 'idle_timeout' can be counterintuitive.
874 * These timeouts apply to the flow that is added, which means that a flow with
875 * an idle timeout will expire when no traffic has been sent *to* the learned
876 * address. This is not usually the intent in MAC learning; instead, we want
877 * the MAC learn entry to expire when no traffic has been sent *from* the
878 * learned address. Use a hard timeout for that.

1149 /* Flexible flow specifications (aka NXM = Nicira Extended Match).
1151 * OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp10_match" for specifying flow matches. This
1152 * structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend. This section
1153 * describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
1154 * short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch. This section also defines a
1155 * replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp10_match.
1161 * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
1162 * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
1163 * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary. The
1164 * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
1167 * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
1169 * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
1171 * |31 16 15 9| 8 7 0
1172 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
1173 * | nxm_vendor | nxm_field |hm| nxm_length |
1174 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
1176 * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
1177 * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of the NXM_VENDOR_* values below. Bits
1178 * 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type normally
1179 * designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it can also
1180 * refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet arrived.
1182 * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
1183 * of this bit is explained later.
1185 * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
1186 * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
1189 * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
1190 * constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
1191 * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
1192 * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
1198 * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
1200 * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
1202 * - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
1203 * field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
1204 * the field equals nxm_value.
1206 * - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
1207 * field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
1208 * value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
1209 * nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
1210 * matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
1211 * corresponding bits in nxm_value and the field's value to be ignored.
1212 * (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by the
1213 * "wildcards" member of struct ofp10_match.)
1215 * When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
1217 * An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
1218 * entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
1221 * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
1227 * Masks may be restricted:
1229 * - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
1230 * must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
1231 * field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
1234 * - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
1235 * nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
1236 * may be restricted to CIDR masks.
1238 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
1239 * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
1240 * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
1241 * or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
1242 * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
1245 * Prerequisite Restrictions
1246 * =========================
1248 * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
1249 * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
1251 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
1252 * preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
1253 * and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
1254 * allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
1256 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
1257 * preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
1258 * nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
1259 * nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
1260 * That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
1261 * type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
1263 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
1264 * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
1265 * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
1268 * Ordering Restrictions
1269 * =====================
1271 * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
1272 * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
1273 * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
1275 * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
1278 * nxm_entry Examples
1279 * ==================
1281 * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
1282 * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
1283 * numbers and byte indexes.
1286 * 8-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=2:

1291 * +------------+---+---+
1294 * 16-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_length=2:

1302 * 32-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_length=4:

1329 * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
1330 * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
1331 * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular

1964 * =====================
1966 * NXST_FLOW_MONITOR allows a controller to keep track of changes to OpenFlow
1967 * flow table(s) or subsets of them, with the following workflow:
1969 * 1. The controller sends an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request to begin monitoring
1970 * flows. The 'id' in the request must be unique among all monitors that
1971 * the controller has started and not yet canceled on this OpenFlow
1974 * 2. The switch responds with an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply. If the request's
1975 * 'flags' included NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply includes all the flows that
1976 * matched the request at the time of the request (with event NXFME_ADDED).
1977 * If 'flags' did not include NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply is empty.
1979 * The reply uses the xid of the request (as do all replies to OpenFlow
1982 * 3. Whenever a change to a flow table entry matches some outstanding monitor
1983 * request's criteria and flags, the switch sends a notification to the
1984 * controller as an additional NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply with xid 0.
1986 * When multiple outstanding monitors match a single change, only a single
1987 * notification is sent. This merged notification includes the information
1988 * requested in any of the individual monitors. That is, if any of the
1989 * matching monitors requests actions (NXFMF_ACTIONS), the notification
1990 * includes actions, and if any of the monitors request full changes for the
1991 * controller's own changes (NXFMF_OWN), the controller's own changes will
1992 * be included in full.
1994 * 4. The controller may cancel a monitor with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL. No
1995 * further notifications will be sent on the basis of the canceled monitor
2002 * OpenFlow messages for flow monitor notifications can overflow the buffer
2003 * space available to the switch, either temporarily (e.g. due to network
2004 * conditions slowing OpenFlow traffic) or more permanently (e.g. the sustained
2005 * rate of flow table change exceeds the network bandwidth between switch and
2008 * When Open vSwitch's notification buffer space reaches a limiting threshold,
2009 * OVS reacts as follows:
2011 * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
2012 * all the already queued notifications. After it receives this message,
2013 * the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
2014 * flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.
2016 * 2. As long as the notification buffer is not empty:
2018 * - NXMFE_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications will not be sent.
2020 * - NXFME_DELETED notifications will still be sent, but only for flows
2021 * that existed before OVS sent NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED.
2023 * - NXFME_ABBREV notifications will not be sent. They are treated as
2024 * the expanded version (and therefore only the NXFME_DELETED
2025 * components, if any, are sent).
2027 * 3. When the notification buffer empties, OVS sends NXFME_ADD notifications
2028 * for flows added since the buffer reached its limit and NXFME_MODIFIED
2029 * notifications for flows that existed before the limit was reached and
2030 * changed after the limit was reached.
2032 * 4. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_RESUMED message to the controller. After
2033 * it receives this message, the controller knows that its view of the flow
2034 * table, as represented by flow monitor notifications, is again complete.
2036 * This allows the maximum buffer space requirement for notifications to be
2037 * bounded by the limit plus the maximum number of supported flows.
2040 * "Flow Removed" messages
2041 * =======================
2043 * The flow monitor mechanism is independent of OFPT_FLOW_REMOVED and
2044 * NXT_FLOW_REMOVED. Flow monitor updates for deletion are sent if
2045 * NXFMF_DELETE is set on a monitor, regardless of whether the
2046 * OFPFF_SEND_FLOW_REM flag was set when the flow was added. */

2152 * OpenFlow channel) will be abbreviated, when possible, to this form, which
2153 * simply specifies the 'xid' of the OpenFlow request (e.g. an OFPT_FLOW_MOD or
2154 * NXT_FLOW_MOD) that caused the change.
2156 * Some changes cannot be abbreviated and will be sent in full:
2158 * - Changes that only partially succeed. This can happen if, for example,
2159 * a flow_mod with type OFPFC_MODIFY affects multiple flows, but only some
2160 * of those modifications succeed (e.g. due to hardware limitations).
2162 * This cannot occur with the current implementation of the Open vSwitch
2163 * software datapath. It could happen with other datapath implementations.
2165 * - Changes that race with conflicting changes made by other controllers or
2166 * other flow_mods (not separated by barriers) by the same controller.
2168 * This cannot occur with the current Open vSwitch implementation
2169 * (regardless of datapath) because Open vSwitch internally serializes
2170 * potentially conflicting changes.
2172 * A flow_mod that does not change the flow table will not trigger any
2173 * notification, even an abbreviated one. For example, a "modify" or "delete"
2174 * flow_mod that does not match any flows will not trigger a notification.
2175 * Whether an "add" or "modify" that specifies all the same parameters that a
2176 * flow already has triggers a notification is unspecified and subject to
2177 * change in future versions of Open vSwitch.
2179 * OVS will always send the notifications for a given flow table change before
2180 * the reply to a OFPT_BARRIER_REQUEST request that follows the flow table
