+ * controller to specify the OpenFlow table to which a flow should be added,
+ * instead of having the switch decide which table is most appropriate as
+ * required by OpenFlow 1.0. By default, the extension is disabled.
+ *
+ * When this feature is enabled, Open vSwitch treats struct ofp_flow_mod's
+ * 16-bit 'command' member as two separate fields. The upper 8 bits are used
+ * as the table ID, the lower 8 bits specify the command as usual. A table ID
+ * of 0xff is treated like a wildcarded table ID.
+ *
+ * The specific treatment of the table ID depends on the type of flow mod:
+ *
+ * - OFPFC_ADD: Given a specific table ID, the flow is always placed in that
+ * table. If an identical flow already exists in that table only, then it
+ * is replaced. If the flow cannot be placed in the specified table,
+ * either because the table is full or because the table cannot support
+ * flows of the given type, the switch replies with an
+ * OFPFMFC_ALL_TABLES_FULL error. (A controller can distinguish these
+ * cases by comparing the current and maximum number of entries reported
+ * in ofp_table_stats.)
+ *
+ * If the table ID is wildcarded, the switch picks an appropriate table
+ * itself. If an identical flow already exist in the selected flow table,
+ * then it is replaced. The choice of table might depend on the flows
+ * that are already in the switch; for example, if one table fills up then
+ * the switch might fall back to another one.
+ *
+ * - OFPFC_MODIFY, OFPFC_DELETE: Given a specific table ID, only flows
+ * within that table are matched and modified or deleted. If the table ID
+ * is wildcarded, flows within any table may be matched and modified or
+ * deleted.
+ *
+ * - OFPFC_MODIFY_STRICT, OFPFC_DELETE_STRICT: Given a specific table ID,
+ * only a flow within that table may be matched and modified or deleted.
+ * If the table ID is wildcarded and exactly one flow within any table
+ * matches, then it is modified or deleted; if flows in more than one
+ * table match, then none is modified or deleted.
