- * flow, including all modifications that have been made by actions up to

- * 2. Selects an OpenFlow 'port'.

- * 'port' is selected in an implementation-defined manner, taking into
- * account 'id' and the hash value calculated in step 1.
+
+/* Action structure for NXAST_FIN_TIMEOUT.
*
- * Generally a switch will have been configured with a set of ports that
- * may be chosen given 'id'. The switch may take into account any number
- * of factors when choosing 'port' from its configured set. Factors may
- * include carrier, load, and the results of configuration protocols such
- * as LACP.
+ * This action changes the idle timeout or hard timeout, or both, of this
+ * OpenFlow rule when the rule matches a TCP packet with the FIN or RST flag.
+ * When such a packet is observed, the action reduces the rule's idle timeout
+ * to 'fin_idle_timeout' and its hard timeout to 'fin_hard_timeout'. This
+ * action has no effect on an existing timeout that is already shorter than the
+ * one that the action specifies. A 'fin_idle_timeout' or 'fin_hard_timeout'
+ * of zero has no effect on the respective timeout.
*
- * 3. Stores 'port' in dst[ofs:ofs+n_bits].
+ * 'fin_idle_timeout' and 'fin_hard_timeout' are measured in seconds.
+ * 'fin_hard_timeout' specifies time since the flow's creation, not since the
+ * receipt of the FIN or RST.
*
- * The format and semantics of 'dst' and 'ofs_nbits' are similar to those
- * for the NXAST_REG_LOAD action.
+ * This is useful for quickly discarding learned TCP flows that otherwise will
+ * take a long time to expire.

+/* Flow Table Monitoring
+ * =====================
+ *
+ * NXST_FLOW_MONITOR allows a controller to keep track of changes to OpenFlow
+ * flow table(s) or subsets of them, with the following workflow:
+ *
+ * 1. The controller sends an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request to begin monitoring
+ * flows. The 'id' in the request must be unique among all monitors that
+ * the controller has started and not yet canceled on this OpenFlow
+ * connection.
+ *
+ * 2. The switch responds with an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply. If the request's
+ * 'flags' included NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply includes all the flows that
+ * matched the request at the time of the request (with event NXFME_ADDED).
+ * If 'flags' did not include NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply is empty.
+ *
+ * The reply uses the xid of the request (as do all replies to OpenFlow
+ * requests).
+ *
+ * 3. Whenever a change to a flow table entry matches some outstanding monitor
+ * request's criteria and flags, the switch sends a notification to the
+ * controller as an additional NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply with xid 0.
+ *
+ * When multiple outstanding monitors match a single change, only a single
+ * notification is sent. This merged notification includes the information
+ * requested in any of the individual monitors. That is, if any of the
+ * matching monitors requests actions (NXFMF_ACTIONS), the notification
+ * includes actions, and if any of the monitors request full changes for the
+ * controller's own changes (NXFMF_OWN), the controller's own changes will
+ * be included in full.
+ *
+ * 4. The controller may cancel a monitor with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL. No
+ * further notifications will be sent on the basis of the canceled monitor
+ * afterward.
+ *
+ *
+ * Buffer Management
+ * =================
+ *
+ * OpenFlow messages for flow monitor notifications can overflow the buffer
+ * space available to the switch, either temporarily (e.g. due to network
+ * conditions slowing OpenFlow traffic) or more permanently (e.g. the sustained
+ * rate of flow table change exceeds the network bandwidth between switch and
+ * controller).
+ *
+ * When Open vSwitch's notification buffer space reaches a limiting threshold,
+ * OVS reacts as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
+ * all the already queued notifications. After it receives this message,
+ * the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
+ * flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.
+ *
+ * 2. As long as the notification buffer is not empty:
+ *
+ * - NXMFE_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications will not be sent.
+ *
+ * - NXFME_DELETED notifications will still be sent, but only for flows
+ * that existed before OVS sent NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED.
+ *
+ * - NXFME_ABBREV notifications will not be sent. They are treated as
+ * the expanded version (and therefore only the NXFME_DELETED
+ * components, if any, are sent).
+ *
+ * 3. When the notification buffer empties, OVS sends NXFME_ADD notifications
+ * for flows added since the buffer reached its limit and NXFME_MODIFIED
+ * notifications for flows that existed before the limit was reached and
+ * changed after the limit was reached.
+ *
+ * 4. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_RESUMED message to the controller. After
+ * it receives this message, the controller knows that its view of the flow
+ * table, as represented by flow monitor notifications, is again complete.
+ *
+ * This allows the maximum buffer space requirement for notifications to be
+ * bounded by the limit plus the maximum number of supported flows.
+ *
+ *
+ * "Flow Removed" messages
+ * =======================
+ *
+ * The flow monitor mechanism is independent of OFPT_FLOW_REMOVED and
+ * NXT_FLOW_REMOVED. Flow monitor updates for deletion are sent if
+ * NXFMF_DELETE is set on a monitor, regardless of whether the
+ * OFPFF_SEND_FLOW_REM flag was set when the flow was added. */

+ * instances of this structure. The request arranges to monitor the flows
+ * that match the specified criteria, which are interpreted in the same way as

+ * 'id' identifies a particular monitor for the purpose of allowing it to be

+ * of the monitors initially matches any flows.
+ *
+ * For NXFMF_ADD, an event will be reported if 'out_port' matches against the

+ * a flow_mod with type OFPFC_MODIFY affects multiple flows, but only some

+ *
+ * This cannot occur with the current Open vSwitch implementation
+ * (regardless of datapath) because Open vSwitch internally serializes
