delta/openvswitch.git/WHY-OVS, branch master github.com: openvswitch/ovs.git doc: Convert docs to Markdown language 2014-10-28T15:55:18+00:00 Thomas Graf tgraf@noironetworks.com 2014-10-28T10:19:52+00:00 542cc9bb8b8817866afcd692a78fa591db5839dc Converts the majority of docs over to use the Markdown language for pretty printing on GitHub. It's a rough first convertion without exploiting the full potential of Markdown at this point. Section titles and indentation are fixed as needed. Minimal docs interlinking is added.

Implement IPFIX export 2013-04-22T21:33:58+00:00 Romain Lenglet rlenglet@vmware.com 2013-04-22T17:01:14+00:00 29089a540cfa30a834e3ee19a8b4c52ff2e331b2 Define a new NXAST_SAMPLE OpenFlow vendor action and the corresponding OFPACT_SAMPLE OVS action, to do per-flow packet sampling, translated into a new SAMPLE "flow_sample" dp action. Make the userspace action's userdata size vary depending on the union member used. Add a new "flow_sample" upcall to do per-flow packet sampling. Add a new "ipfix" upcall to do per-bridge packet sampling to IPFIX collectors. Extend the OVSDB schema to support configuring IPFIX collector sets. Add support for configuring multiple IPFIX collectors for per-flow packet sampling. Add support for configuring per-bridge IPFIX sampling. Automatically generate standard IPFIX entity definitions from the IANA specs. Send one IPFIX data record message for every packet sampled by an OpenFlow sample action or received by a bridge configured with IPFIX sampling, and periodically send IPFIX template set messages.
