OPENFLOW IMPLEMENTATION

This section documents aspects of OpenFlow for which the OpenFlow specification requires documentation.

Packet buffering. The OpenFlow specification, version 1.2, says:

Switches that implement buffering are expected to expose, through documentation, both the amount of available buffering, and the length of time before buffers may be reused.

Open vSwitch does not maintains any packet buffers.

Bundle lifetime The OpenFlow specification, version 1.4, says:

If the switch does not receive any OFPT_BUNDLE_CONTROL or OFPT_BUNDLE_ADD_MESSAGE message for an opened bundle_id for a switch defined time greater than 1s, it may send an ofp_error_msg with OFPET_BUNDLE_FAILED type and OFPBFC_TIMEOUT code. If the switch does not receive any new message in a bundle apart from echo request and replies for a switch defined time greater than 1s, it may send an ofp_error_msg with OFPET_BUNDLE_FAILED type and OFPBFC_TIMEOUT code.

Open vSwitch implements default idle bundle lifetime of 10 seconds. (This is configurable via other-config:bundle-idle- timeout in the Open_vSwitch table. See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for details.)
