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