It depend on the provided options. If you're using 'userdata' or 'pause', the NXAST_CONTROLLER2 will be used. If only 'reason' and 'controller_id', then NXAST_CONTROLLER will be used. In the most basic case with 'max_len' only, it will use OUTPUT action with OFPP_CONTROLLER as a port. That's how ovs-ofctl utility translates the text form of the action into OpenFlow. If you're writing your own controller, you should be able to create a raw OpenFlow request with any action you want.
