Hi, all, I have 1 question refgarding buffering issue
When first packet is sent to the switch, the switch doesn't know what to do since no flow entry, therefore the switch will send it to the NOX, finally the NOX inserts a flow-entry(it may take setting ip time) and send the packet out. However, I am sending a high-rate video, during the flow entry setting up time, thousands of packets will also go to NOX before the flow entry is set up. The video on the receiver part is highly affected before the flow entry is inserted. I guess that's because the NOX cannot handle too many incoming packets per second, am I right? Can I set rules for switches or NOX to do the following: The first packet goes to NOX and NOX inserts a flow entry.And before the flow entry is inserted, the subsequent packets will buffer in the switch instead of sending to NOX. After the flow entry is inserted, the buffered packets are sent directly through switches, and then following flows. I guess this can avoid poor video quality during the flow entry setting up time. Any suggestion? Thanks very much. Weiyang
