Hi Adrian, thank you for your reply. Your suggestion is the same as Ilya's.
I used the following command to monitor the OpenFlow commands modifying the flow table: sudo ovs-ofctl monitor switch1 65534 watch: --protocols=OpenFlow13 But the client doesn't receive any packets even I add and delete some entries in the flow table and the changes can be verified with dump-flows command. Only packets like the following are received: OFPT_ECHO_REQUEST (OF1.3) (xid=0x0): 0 bytes of payload Extensions of the protocols with al the versions other than OpenFlow13 doesn't help either. Can you see if the usage of the client with the command above is correct. Regards, Zekeriya >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Adrian Moreno <amore...@redhat.com> >Gesendet: Freitag, 19.
