29 /* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
31 * OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
32 * are specific to each type). It does not have any provision for
33 * vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
34 * codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
35 * specification authors.
37 * This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
38 * vendor extension". The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
39 * and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
40 * vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
43 * It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
44 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values. But
45 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
46 * their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
47 * to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
49 * Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
50 * like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

203 * as the table ID, the lower 8 bits specify the command as usual. A table ID

209 * table. If an identical flow already exists in that table only, then it

213 * OFPFMFC_ALL_TABLES_FULL error. (A controller can distinguish these
214 * cases by comparing the current and maximum number of entries reported
215 * in ofp_table_stats.)
217 * If the table ID is wildcarded, the switch picks an appropriate table
218 * itself. If an identical flow already exist in the selected flow table,
219 * then it is replaced. The choice of table might depend on the flows
220 * that are already in the switch; for example, if one table fills up then
221 * the switch might fall back to another one.
223 * - OFPFC_MODIFY, OFPFC_DELETE: Given a specific table ID, only flows
224 * within that table are matched and modified or deleted. If the table ID
225 * is wildcarded, flows within any table may be matched and modified or
228 * - OFPFC_MODIFY_STRICT, OFPFC_DELETE_STRICT: Given a specific table ID,
229 * only a flow within that table may be matched and modified or deleted.
230 * If the table ID is wildcarded and exactly one flow within any table
231 * matches, then it is modified or deleted; if flows in more than one
232 * table match, then none is modified or deleted.

674 * of flow_mod_spec elements included as part of the action.

677 * a no-op used for padding the action as a whole to a multiple of 8 bytes in
678 * length. Otherwise, the flow_mod_spec can be thought of as copying 'n_bits'

684 * | 0 |src| dst | n_bits |
685 * +------+---+------+---------------------------------+
687 * The meaning and format of a flow_mod_spec depends on 'src' and 'dst'. The
688 * following table summarizes the meaning of each possible combination.
689 * Details follow the table:
692 * --- --- ----------------------------------------------------------
693 * 0 0 Add match criteria based on value in a field.
694 * 1 0 Add match criteria based on an immediate value.
695 * 0 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to copy field into a different field.
696 * 1 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to load immediate value into a field.
697 * 0 2 Add OFPAT_OUTPUT action to output to port from specified field.
698 * All other combinations are undefined and not allowed.
700 * The flow_mod_spec header is followed by a source specification and a
701 * destination specification. The format and meaning of the source
702 * specification depends on 'src':
704 * - If 'src' is 0, the source bits are taken from a field in the flow to
705 * which this action is attached. (This should be a wildcarded field. If
706 * its value is fully specified then the source bits being copied have
709 * The source specification is an ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'.
710 * 'field' is an nxm_header with nxm_hasmask=0, and 'ofs' the starting bit
711 * offset within that field. The source bits are field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1].
712 * 'field' and 'ofs' are subject to the same restrictions as the source
713 * field in NXAST_REG_MOVE.
715 * - If 'src' is 1, the source bits are a constant value. The source
716 * specification is (n_bits+15)/16*2 bytes long. Taking those bytes as a
717 * number in network order, the source bits are the 'n_bits'
718 * least-significant bits. The switch will report an error if other bits
719 * in the constant are nonzero.
721 * The flow_mod_spec destination specification, for 'dst' of 0 or 1, is an
722 * ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'. 'field' is an nxm_header with
723 * nxm_hasmask=0 and 'ofs' is a starting bit offset within that field. The
724 * meaning of the flow_mod_spec depends on 'dst':
726 * - If 'dst' is 0, the flow_mod_spec specifies match criteria for the new
727 * flow. The new flow matches only if bits field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1] in a
728 * packet equal the source bits. 'field' may be any nxm_header with
729 * nxm_hasmask=0 that is allowed in NXT_FLOW_MOD.
731 * Order is significant. Earlier flow_mod_specs must satisfy any
732 * prerequisites for matching fields specified later, by copying constant
733 * values into prerequisite fields.
735 * The switch will reject flow_mod_specs that do not satisfy NXM masking
738 * - If 'dst' is 1, the flow_mod_spec specifies an NXAST_REG_LOAD action for
739 * the new flow. The new flow copies the source bits into
740 * field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1]. Actions are executed in the same order as the
743 * The flow_mod_spec destination spec for 'dst' of 2 (when 'src' is 0) is
744 * empty. It has the following meaning:
746 * - The flow_mod_spec specifies an OFPAT_OUTPUT action for the new flow.
747 * The new flow outputs to the OpenFlow port specified by the source field.
748 * Of the special output ports with value OFPP_MAX or larger, OFPP_IN_PORT,
749 * OFPP_FLOOD, OFPP_LOCAL, and OFPP_ALL are supported. Other special ports
752 * Resource Management
753 * -------------------
755 * A switch has a finite amount of flow table space available for learning.
756 * When this space is exhausted, no new learning table entries will be learned
757 * until some existing flow table entries expire. The controller should be
758 * prepared to handle this by flooding (which can be implemented as a
759 * low-priority flow).
764 * The following examples give a prose description of the flow_mod_specs along
765 * with informal notation for how those would be represented and a hex dump of
766 * the bytes that would be required.
768 * These examples could work with various nx_action_learn parameters. Typical
769 * values would be idle_timeout=OFP_FLOW_PERMANENT, hard_timeout=60,
770 * priority=OFP_DEFAULT_PRIORITY, flags=0, table_id=10.

783 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_DST), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 02 06 00 00
785 * Set NXM_NX_REG1[16:31] to the packet's input port:
786 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=1, n_bits=16), 08 10
787 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
788 * ovs_be32(NXM_NX_REG1), ovs_be16(16) 00 01 02 04 00 10
790 * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B,
791 * this would set up the flow "in_port=99, dl_dst=B,
792 * actions=load:A->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31]".
794 * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is: learn(in_port=99,
795 * NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
796 * load:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31])
798 * 2. Output to input port based on the source MAC and VLAN VID, with lookup
799 * into NXM_NX_REG1[16:31]:
801 * Match on same VLAN ID as packet:
802 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=12), 00 0c
803 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
804 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
806 * Match Ethernet destination on Ethernet source from packet:
807 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=48), 00 30
808 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_SRC), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 04 06 00 00
809 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_DST), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 02 06 00 00
811 * Output to the packet's input port:
812 * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=2, n_bits=16), 10 10
813 * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
815 * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B in
816 * VLAN C, this would set up the flow "dl_dst=B, vlan_vid=C,
819 * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is:
820 * learn(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
821 * output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[])
823 * 3. Here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC learning switch. It uses a
824 * 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier to see what's going on
826 * ovs-vsctl del-controller br0
827 * ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
828 * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, \
829 hard_timeout=10, NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], \
830 NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \
831 output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)"
832 * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood"
834 * You can then dump the MAC learning table with:
836 * ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1
841 * For best performance, segregate learned flows into a table that is not used
842 * for any other flows except possibly for a lowest-priority "catch-all" flow
843 * (a flow with no match criteria). If different learning actions specify
844 * different match criteria, use different tables for the learned flows.
846 * The meaning of 'hard_timeout' and 'idle_timeout' can be counterintuitive.
847 * These timeouts apply to the flow that is added, which means that a flow with
848 * an idle timeout will expire when no traffic has been sent *to* the learned
849 * address. This is not usually the intent in MAC learning; instead, we want
850 * the MAC learn entry to expire when no traffic has been sent *from* the
851 * learned address. Use a hard timeout for that.

1085 * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of the NXM_VENDOR_* values below. Bits
1086 * 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type normally
1087 * designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it can also
1088 * refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet arrived.
1090 * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
1091 * of this bit is explained later.
1093 * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
1094 * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
1097 * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
1098 * constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
1099 * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
1100 * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
1106 * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
1108 * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
1110 * - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
1111 * field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
1112 * the field equals nxm_value.
1114 * - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
1115 * field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
1116 * value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
1117 * nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
1118 * matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
1119 * corresponding bits in nxm_value and the field's value to be ignored.
1120 * (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by the
1121 * "wildcards" member of struct ofp_match.)
1123 * When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
1125 * An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
1126 * entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
1129 * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
1135 * Masks may be restricted:
1137 * - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
1138 * must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
1139 * field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
1142 * - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
1143 * nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
1144 * may be restricted to CIDR masks.
1146 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
1147 * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
1148 * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
1149 * or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
1150 * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
1153 * Prerequisite Restrictions
1154 * =========================
1156 * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
1157 * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
1159 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
1160 * preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
1161 * and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
1162 * allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
1164 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
1165 * preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
1166 * nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
1167 * nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
1168 * That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
1169 * type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
1171 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
1172 * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
1173 * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
1176 * Ordering Restrictions
1177 * =====================
1179 * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
1180 * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
1181 * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
1183 * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
1186 * nxm_entry Examples
1187 * ==================
1189 * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
1190 * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
1191 * numbers and byte indexes.

1237 * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
1238 * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
1239 * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
1240 * problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
