* Add support for multipart requests.
+ Currently we always report OFPBRC_MULTIPART_BUFFER_OVERFLOW.
[optional for OF1.3+]
* Add OFPMP_TABLE_FEATURES statistics.
that is all done, is probably 2 or 3 days work.
[optional for OF1.3+]
- * Per-flow meters. Similar to IPv6 extension headers in kernel
- and design requirements. Might be politically difficult to add
- directly to the kernel module, since its functionality overlaps
- with tc. Ideally, therefore, we could implement these somehow
- with tc, but I haven't investigated whether that makes sense.
+ * Per-flow meters. OpenFlow protocol support is now implemented.
+ Support for the special OFPM_SLOWPATH and OFPM_CONTROLLER meters
+ is missing. Support for the software switch is under review.

* Per-connection event filtering. OF1.3 adopted Open vSwitch's
some kind of "hardware" support, if we judged it useful enough.)

this (but we'd accept an implementation).
