In OpenFlow 1.0 the cookie is typically used for delete operations (but not for modify operations - those actually change the cookie rather than match on it). When the spec refers to the cookie not being used in matches, it means dataplane packet matches (which obviously have no cookie, so you can't use it for matching), rather than for resolving control plane matches. That being said this is switch dependent (many switches definitely match the cookie for removal, including - I thought - OVS, but Ben's message gives me pause about whether we evaluated that correctly). -- Nick _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
