The comment above struct ofphdrs describes what information is contained in it: /* A thin abstraction of OpenFlow headers: * * - 'version' and 'type' come straight from struct ofp_header, so these are * always present and meaningful. * * - 'stat' comes from the 'type' member in statistics messages only. It is * meaningful, therefore, only if 'version' and 'type' taken together * specify a statistics request or reply. Otherwise it is 0. * * - 'vendor' is meaningful only for vendor messages, that is, if 'version' * and 'type' specify a vendor message or if 'version' and 'type' specify * a statistics message and 'stat' specifies a vendor statistic type. * Otherwise it is 0. * * - 'subtype' is meaningful only for vendor messages and otherwise 0. It * specifies a vendor-defined subtype. There is no standard format for * these but 32 bits seems like it should be enough. */ It is not handling any message types, just extracting this information. However, none of this needs to be modified to add a new tunnel type. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
