Subject: ofproto: Reinterpret meaning of OpenFlow hard timeouts with OFPFC_MODIFY.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=308881afb61e292c629b36a357cfc37153884000;p=openvswitch

ofproto: Reinterpret meaning of OpenFlow hard timeouts with OFPFC_MODIFY.

I finally found a good use for hard timeouts in OpenFlow, but they require
a slight reinterpretation of the meaning of hard timeouts.  Until now, a
hard timeout meant that a flow would be removed the specified number of
seconds after a flow was created.  Intervening modifications with
OFPFC_MODIFY(_STRICT) had no effect on the hard timeout; the flow would
still be deleted the specified number of seconds after its original
creation.

This commit changes the effect of OFPFC_MODIFY(_STRICT).  Now, modifying
a flow resets its hard timeout counter.  A flow will time out the specified
number of seconds after creation or after the last time it is modified,
whichever comes later.
