/* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
*
* OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
* are specific to each type). It does not have any provision for
* vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
* codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
* specification authors.
*
* This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
* vendor extension". The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
* and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
* vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
* request.
*
* It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
* OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values. But
* OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
* their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
* to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
*
* Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
* like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

/* This command enables or disables an Open vSwitch extension that allows a

* required by OpenFlow 1.0. Because NXM was designed as an extension to
* OpenFlow 1.0, the extension applies equally to ofp10_flow_mod and
* nx_flow_mod. By default, the extension is disabled.
*
* When this feature is enabled, Open vSwitch treats struct ofp10_flow_mod's
* and struct nx_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_TABLE_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.

* Open vSwitch 1.9.0 and later omits metadata fields that are zero (as allowed

* important not to interpret the format as matching against a flow, because it

/* Flexible flow specifications (aka NXM = Nicira Extended Match).
*
* OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp10_match" for specifying flow matches. This
* structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend. This section
* describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
* short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch. This section also defines a
* replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp10_match.
*
*
* Format
* ======
*
* An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
* type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
* "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary. The
* first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
* "body".
*
* An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
*
* |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
* | |
* |31 16 15 9| 8 7 0
* +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
* | nxm_vendor | nxm_field |hm| nxm_length |
* +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
*
* The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
* Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of the NXM_VENDOR_* values below. Bits
* 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type normally
* designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it can also
* refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet arrived.
*
* Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
* of this bit is explained later.
*
* The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
* length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
* bytes.
*
* For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
* constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
* "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
* nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
*
*
* Semantics
* =========
*
* A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
*
* An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
*
* - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
* field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
* the field equals nxm_value.
*
* - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
* field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
* value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
* nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
* matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
* corresponding bit in nxm_value is ignored (it should be 0; Open vSwitch
* may enforce this someday), as is the corresponding bit in the field's
* value. (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by
* the "wildcards" member of struct ofp10_match.)
*
* When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
*
* An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
* entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
* nxm_hasmask.
*
* When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
*
*
* Mask Restrictions
* =================
*
* Masks may be restricted:
*
* - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
* must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
* field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
* masked.
*
* - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
* nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
* may be restricted to CIDR masks.
*
* These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
* A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
* disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
* or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
* contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
*
*
* Prerequisite Restrictions
* =========================
*
* The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
* on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
*
* - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
* preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
* and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
* allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
*
* - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
* preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
* nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
* nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
* That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
* type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
*
* These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
* A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
* must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
*
*
* Ordering Restrictions
* =====================
*
* An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
* "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
* nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
*
* Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
*
*
* nxm_entry Examples
* ==================
*
* These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
* nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
* numbers and byte indexes.
*
*
* 8-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=2:
*
* 0 3 4 5
* +------------+---+---+
* | header | v | m |
* +------------+---+---+
*
*
* 16-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_length=2:
*
* 0 3 4 5
* +------------+------+
* | header | value|
* +------------+------+
*
*
* 32-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_length=4:
*
* 0 3 4 7
* +------------+-------------+
* | header | nxm_value |
* +------------+-------------+
*
*
* 48-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_length=6:
*
* 0 3 4 9
* +------------+------------------+
* | header | nxm_value |
* +------------+------------------+
*
*
* 48-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=12:
*
* 0 3 4 9 10 15
* +------------+------------------+------------------+
* | header | nxm_value | nxm_mask |
* +------------+------------------+------------------+
*
*
* Error Reporting
* ===============
*
* A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
* OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
* should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
* problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
* nx_match error.

* - In OFPC_FRAG_DROP mode, the OpenFlow switch drops all IP fragments
* before they reach the flow table, so every packet that is available for
* matching will have value 0 in this field.
*
* - Open vSwitch does not implement OFPC_FRAG_REASM mode, but if it did then
* IP fragments would be reassembled before they reached the flow table and
* again every packet available for matching would always have value 0.
*
* - In OFPC_FRAG_NORMAL mode, all three values are possible, but OpenFlow
* 1.0 says that fragments' transport ports are always 0, even for the
* first fragment, so this does not provide much extra information.
*
* - In OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH mode, all three values are possible. For
* fragments with offset 0, Open vSwitch makes L4 header information

/* 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. */
/* NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request.
*
* The NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request's body consists of an array of zero or more
* instances of this structure. The request arranges to monitor the flows
* that match the specified criteria, which are interpreted in the same way as
* for NXST_FLOW.
*
* 'id' identifies a particular monitor for the purpose of allowing it to be
* canceled later with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL. 'id' must be unique among
* existing monitors that have not already been canceled.
*
* The reply includes the initial flow matches for monitors that have the
* NXFMF_INITIAL flag set. No single flow will be included in the reply more
* than once, even if more than one requested monitor matches that flow. The
* reply will be empty if none of the monitors has NXFMF_INITIAL set or if none
* of the monitors initially matches any flows.
*
* For NXFMF_ADD, an event will be reported if 'out_port' matches against the
* actions of the flow being added or, for a flow that is replacing an existing
* flow, if 'out_port' matches against the actions of the flow being replaced.
* For NXFMF_DELETE, 'out_port' matches against the actions of a flow being
* deleted. For NXFMF_MODIFY, an event will be reported if 'out_port' matches
* either the old or the new actions. */

* When the controller does not specify NXFMF_OWN in a monitor request, any
* flow tables changes due to the controller's own requests (on the same
* OpenFlow channel) will be abbreviated, when possible, to this form, which
* simply specifies the 'xid' of the OpenFlow request (e.g. an OFPT_FLOW_MOD or
* NXT_FLOW_MOD) that caused the change.
*
* Some changes cannot be abbreviated and will be sent in full:
*
* - Changes that only partially succeed. This can happen if, for example,
* a flow_mod with type OFPFC_MODIFY affects multiple flows, but only some
* of those modifications succeed (e.g. due to hardware limitations).
*
* This cannot occur with the Open vSwitch software datapath. This also
* cannot occur in Open vSwitch 2.4 and later, because these versions only
* execute any flow modifications if all of them will succeed.
*
* - Changes that race with conflicting changes made by other controllers or
* other flow_mods (not separated by barriers) by the same controller.
*
* This cannot occur with the current Open vSwitch implementation
* (regardless of datapath) because Open vSwitch internally serializes
* potentially conflicting changes.
*
* - Changes that occur when flow notification is paused (see "Buffer
* Management" above).
*
* A flow_mod that does not change the flow table will not trigger any
* notification, even an abbreviated one. For example, a "modify" or "delete"
* flow_mod that does not match any flows will not trigger a notification.
* Whether an "add" or "modify" that specifies all the same parameters that a
* flow already has triggers a notification is unspecified and subject to
* change in future versions of Open vSwitch.
*
* OVS will always send the notifications for a given flow table change before
* the reply to a OFPT_BARRIER_REQUEST request that follows the flow table
* change. Thus, if the controller does not receive an abbreviated (or
* unabbreviated) notification for a flow_mod before the next
