Hi all,

I have a question about OFPFC_DELETE command flowmods and cookies in OF 1.0. 
During a delete flowmod, should the cookie value be used for matching purposes?

The spec says:

"The cookie field is an opaque data value that is set by the controller. It is 
not used in any matching functions, and thus does not need to reside in 
hardware." 

So my interpretation is that is should not, but it seems like a shame to waste 
such a simple mechanism to delete a given flowmod. Anyone care to clarify this?


Cheers.
