- * NXAST_RESUBMIT searches the flow table again, using a flow that is slightly
- * modified from the original lookup:
+ * These actions search one of the switch's flow tables:
*
- * - The 'in_port' member of struct nx_action_resubmit is used as the flow's
- * in_port.
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE only, if the 'table' member is not 255, then
+ * it specifies the table to search.
*
- * - If NXAST_RESUBMIT is preceded by actions that affect the flow
- * (e.g. OFPAT_SET_VLAN_VID), then the flow is updated with the new
- * values.
+ * - Otherwise (for NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE with a 'table' of 255, or for
+ * NXAST_RESUBMIT regardless of 'table'), it searches the current flow
+ * table, that is, the OpenFlow flow table that contains the flow from
+ * which this action was obtained. If this action did not come from a
+ * flow table (e.g. it came from an OFPT_PACKET_OUT message), then table 0
+ * is the current table.
+ *
+ * The flow table lookup uses a flow that may be slightly modified from the
+ * original lookup:
+ *
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT, the 'in_port' member of struct nx_action_resubmit
+ * is used as the flow's in_port.
+ *
+ * - For NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE, if the 'in_port' member is not OFPP_IN_PORT,
+ * then its value is used as the flow's in_port. Otherwise, the original
+ * in_port is used.
+ *
+ * - If actions that modify the flow (e.g. OFPAT_SET_VLAN_VID) precede the
+ * resubmit action, then the flow is updated with the new values.
*
* Following the lookup, the original in_port is restored.
*
* If the modified flow matched in the flow table, then the corresponding
- * actions are executed. Afterward, actions following NXAST_RESUBMIT in the
+ * actions are executed. Afterward, actions following the resubmit in the
* original set of actions, if any, are executed; any changes made to the
* packet (e.g. changes to VLAN) by secondary actions persist when those
* actions are executed, although the original in_port is restored.
*
- * NXAST_RESUBMIT may be used any number of times within a set of actions.
+ * Resubmit actions may be used any number of times within a set of actions.
+ *
+ * Resubmit actions may nest to an implementation-defined depth. Beyond this
+ * implementation-defined depth, further resubmit actions are simply ignored.
*
- * NXAST_RESUBMIT may nest to an implementation-defined depth. Beyond this
- * implementation-defined depth, further NXAST_RESUBMIT actions are simply
- * ignored. (Open vSwitch 1.0.1 and earlier did not support recursion.)
+ * NXAST_RESUBMIT ignores 'table' and 'pad'. NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE requires
+ * 'pad' to be all-bits-zero.
+ *
+ * Open vSwitch 1.0.1 and earlier did not support recursion. Open vSwitch

+ * The bundle actions choose a slave from a supplied list of options.
+ * NXAST_BUNDLE outputs to its selection. NXAST_BUNDLE_LOAD writes its
+ * selection to a register.
+ *
+ * The list of possible slaves follows the nx_action_bundle structure. The size
+ * of each slave is governed by its type as indicated by the 'slave_type'
+ * parameter. The list of slaves should be padded at its end with zeros to make
+ * the total length of the action a multiple of 8.
+ *
+ * Switches infer from the 'slave_type' parameter the size of each slave. All
+ * implementations must support the NXM_OF_IN_PORT 'slave_type' which indicates
+ * that the slaves are OpenFlow port numbers with NXM_LENGTH(NXM_OF_IN_PORT) ==
+ * 2 byte width. Switches should reject actions which indicate unknown or
+ * unsupported slave types.
+ *
+ * Switches use a strategy dictated by the 'algorithm' parameter to choose a
+ * slave. If the switch does not support the specified 'algorithm' parameter,
+ * it should reject the action.
+ *
+ * Some slave selection strategies require the use of a hash function, in which
+ * case the 'fields' and 'basis' parameters should be populated. The 'fields'
+ * parameter (one of NX_HASH_FIELDS_*) designates which parts of the flow to
+ * hash. Refer to the definition of "enum nx_hash_fields" for details. The
+ * 'basis' parameter is used as a universal hash parameter. Different values
+ * of 'basis' yield different hash results.
+ *
+ * The 'zero' parameter at the end of the action structure is reserved for
+ * future use. Switches are required to reject actions which have nonzero
+ * bytes in the 'zero' field.
+ *
+ * NXAST_BUNDLE actions should have 'ofs_nbits' and 'dst' zeroed. Switches
+ * should reject actions which have nonzero bytes in either of these fields.
