Managing flow entries
OpenFlow uses flow entries to match and process packets.
shows the main components of a
flow entry.
Figure 23 Main flow entry components
For more information about the flow entry components, referenced in
, see version 1.3.1 of the
Open Networking Foundation "OpenFlow Switch Specification" located at:
In a flow table, a flow entry is uniquely identified by its match fields and priority. A table-miss flow entry's
match fields are omitted, and its priority is 0. In a flow table, the fields of a packet are matched against
the match fields of flow entries in order of priority. If the packet matches a flow entry, the instruction set
of the flow entry is executed on the packet.
