28/* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
29 *
30 * OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
31 * are specific to each type). It does not have any provision for
32 * vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
33 * codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
34 * specification authors.
35 *
36 * This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
37 * vendor extension". The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
6eb59a8f 38 * and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
26c112c2
BP
39 * vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
40 * request.
41 *
a23aab1f 42 * It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
26c112c2
BP
43 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values. But
44 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
45 * their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
46 * to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
47 *
48 * Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
49 * like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

117 *
42edbe39
BP
118 * NXT_PACKET_IN is similar to the OpenFlow 1.2 OFPT_PACKET_IN. The
119 * differences are:
120 *
121 * - NXT_PACKET_IN includes the cookie of the rule that triggered the
122 * message. (OpenFlow 1.3 OFPT_PACKET_IN also includes the cookie.)
123 *
124 * - The metadata fields use NXM (instead of OXM) field numbers.
125 *
126 * Open vSwitch 1.9.0 and later omits metadata fields that are zero (as allowed
127 * by OpenFlow 1.2). Earlier versions included all implemented metadata
128 * fields.
129 *
130 * Open vSwitch does not include non-metadata in the nx_match, because by
131 * definition that information can be found in the packet itself. The format
132 * and the standards allow this, however, so controllers should be prepared to
133 * tolerate future changes.
134 *
135 * The NXM format is convenient for reporting metadata values, but it is
136 * important not to interpret the format as matching against a flow, because it
137 * does not. Nothing is being matched; arbitrary metadata masks would not be
138 * meaningful.
54834960
EJ
139 *
140 * Whereas in most cases a controller can expect to only get back NXM fields
141 * that it set up itself (e.g. flow dumps will ordinarily report only NXM
142 * fields from flows that the controller added), NXT_PACKET_IN messages might
143 * contain fields that the controller does not understand, because the switch
144 * might support fields (new registers, new protocols, etc.) that the
42edbe39 145 * controller does not. The controller must prepared to tolerate these.

173/* NXT_PACKET_IN2
174 * ==============
6409e008
BP
175 *
176 * NXT_PACKET_IN2 is conceptually similar to OFPT_PACKET_IN but it is expressed
177 * as an extensible set of properties instead of using a fixed structure.
178 *
77ab5fd2
BP
179 * Added in Open vSwitch 2.6
180 *
181 *
182 * Continuations
183 * -------------
184 *
185 * When a "controller" action specifies the "pause" flag, the controller action
186 * freezes the packet's trip through Open vSwitch flow tables and serializes
187 * that state into the packet-in message as a "continuation". The controller
188 * can later send the continuation back to the switch, which will restart the
189 * packet's traversal from the point where it was interrupted. This permits an
190 * OpenFlow controller to interpose on a packet midway through processing in
191 * Open vSwitch.
192 *
193 * Continuations fit into packet processing this way:
194 *
195 * 1. A packet ingresses into Open vSwitch, which runs it through the OpenFlow
196 * tables.
197 *
198 * 2. An OpenFlow flow executes a "controller" action that includes the "pause"
199 * flag. Open vSwitch serializes the packet processing state and sends it,
200 * as an NXT_PACKET_IN2 that includes an additional NXPINT_CONTINUATION
201 * property (the continuation), to the OpenFlow controller.
202 *
203 * (The controller must use NXAST_CONTROLLER2 to generate the packet-in,
204 * because only this form of the "controller" action has a "pause" flag.
205 * Similarly, the controller must use NXT_SET_PACKET_IN_FORMAT to select
206 * NXT_PACKET_IN2 as the packet-in format, because this is the only format
207 * that supports continuation passing.)
208 *
209 * 3. The controller receives the NXT_PACKET_IN2 and processes it. The
210 * controller can interpret and, if desired, modify some of the contents of
211 * the packet-in, such as the packet and the metadata being processed.
212 *
213 * 4. The controller sends the continuation back to the switch, using an
214 * NXT_RESUME message. Packet processing resumes where it left off.
215 *
216 * The controller might change the pipeline configuration concurrently with
217 * steps 2 through 4. For example, it might add or remove OpenFlow flows. If
218 * that happens, then the packet will experience a mix of processing from the
219 * two configurations, that is, the initial processing (before
220 * NXAST_CONTROLLER2) uses the initial flow table, and the later processing
221 * (after NXT_RESUME) uses the later flow table. This means that the
222 * controller needs to take care to avoid incompatible pipeline changes while
223 * processing continuations.
224 *
225 * External side effects (e.g. "output") of OpenFlow actions processed before
226 * NXAST_CONTROLLER2 is encountered might be executed during step 2 or step 4,
227 * and the details may vary among Open vSwitch features and versions. Thus, a
228 * controller that wants to make sure that side effects are executed must pass
229 * the continuation back to the switch, that is, must not skip step 4.
230 *
231 * Architecturally, continuations may be "stateful" or "stateless", that is,
232 * they may or may not refer to buffered state maintained in Open vSwitch.
233 * This means that a controller should not attempt to resume a given
234 * continuations more than once (because the switch might have discarded the
235 * buffered state after the first use). For the same reason, continuations
236 * might become "stale" if the controller takes too long to resume them
237 * (because the switch might have discarded old buffered state). Taken
238 * together with the previous note, this means that a controller should resume
239 * each continuation exactly once (and promptly).
240 *
241 * Without the information in NXPINT_CONTINUATION, the controller can (with
242 * careful design, and help from the flow cookie) determine where the packet is
243 * in the pipeline, but in the general case it can't determine what nested
244 * "resubmit"s that may be in progress, or what data is on the stack maintained
245 * by NXAST_STACK_PUSH and NXAST_STACK_POP actions, what is in the OpenFlow
246 * action set, etc.
247 *
248 * Continuations are expensive because they require a round trip between the
249 * switch and the controller. Thus, they should not be used to implement
250 * processing that needs to happen at "line rate".
251 *
252 * The contents of NXPINT_CONTINUATION are private to the switch, may change
253 * unpredictably from one version of Open vSwitch to another, and are not
254 * documented here. The contents are also tied to a given Open vSwitch process
255 * and bridge, so that restarting Open vSwitch or deleting and recreating a
256 * bridge will cause the corresponding NXT_RESUME to be rejected.
257 *
258 * In the current implementation, Open vSwitch forks the packet processing
259 * pipeline across patch ports. Suppose, for example, that the pipeline for
260 * br0 outputs to a patch port whose peer belongs to br1, and that the pipeline
261 * for br1 executes a controller action with the "pause" flag. This only
262 * pauses processing within br1, and processing in br0 continues and possibly
263 * completes with visible side effects, such as outputting to ports, before
264 * br1's controller receives or processes the continuation. This
265 * implementation maintains the independence of separate bridges and, since
266 * processing in br1 cannot affect the behavior of br0 anyway, should not cause
267 * visible behavioral changes.
268 *
269 * A stateless implementation of continuations may ignore the "controller"
270 * action max_len, always sending the whole packet, because the full packet is
271 * required to continue traversal.

BP
355 *
356 * Format
357 * ======
358 *
359 * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
360 * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
361 * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary. The
362 * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
363 * "body".
364 *
365 * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
366 *
367 * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
368 * | |
369 * |31 16 15 9| 8 7 0
370 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
371 * | nxm_vendor | nxm_field |hm| nxm_length |
372 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
373 *
374 * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
16c35c1d
YT
375 * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of OFPXMC12_* values. In case of
376 * NXM, it's either OFPXMC12_NXM_0 or OFPXMC12_NXM_1.
377 * Bits 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type
378 * normally designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it
379 * can also refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet
380 * arrived.
09246b99
BP
381 *
382 * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
383 * of this bit is explained later.
384 *
385 * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
386 * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
387 * bytes.
388 *
389 * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
390 * constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
391 * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
392 * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
393 *
394 *
395 * Semantics
396 * =========
397 *
398 * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
399 *
400 * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
401 *
402 * - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
403 * field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
404 * the field equals nxm_value.
405 *
406 * - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
407 * field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
408 * value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
409 * nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
410 * matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
e1cfc4e4
BP
411 * corresponding bit in nxm_value is ignored (it should be 0; Open vSwitch
412 * may enforce this someday), as is the corresponding bit in the field's
413 * value. (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by
414 * the "wildcards" member of struct ofp10_match.)
09246b99
BP
415 *
416 * When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
417 *
418 * An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
419 * entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
420 * nxm_hasmask.
421 *
422 * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
423 *
424 *
425 * Mask Restrictions
426 * =================
427 *
428 * Masks may be restricted:
429 *
430 * - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
431 * must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
432 * field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
433 * masked.
434 *
435 * - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
436 * nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
437 * may be restricted to CIDR masks.
438 *
439 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
440 * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
441 * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
442 * or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
443 * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
444 *
445 *
446 * Prerequisite Restrictions
447 * =========================
448 *
449 * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
450 * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
451 *
452 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
453 * preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
454 * and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
455 * allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
456 *
e51df1a0
BP
457 * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
458 * preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
459 * nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
460 * nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
461 * That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
462 * type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
09246b99
BP
463 *
464 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
465 * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
466 * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
467 *
468 *
469 * Ordering Restrictions
470 * =====================
471 *
472 * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
473 * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
474 * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
475 *
476 * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
477 *
478 *
479 * nxm_entry Examples
480 * ==================
481 *
482 * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
483 * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
484 * numbers and byte indexes.

527 * Error Reporting
528 * ===============
529 *
530 * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
531 * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
532 * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
533 * problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
534 * nx_match error.

734/* Flow Table Monitoring
735 * =====================
736 *
737 * NXST_FLOW_MONITOR allows a controller to keep track of changes to OpenFlow
738 * flow table(s) or subsets of them, with the following workflow:
739 *
740 * 1. The controller sends an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request to begin monitoring
741 * flows. The 'id' in the request must be unique among all monitors that
742 * the controller has started and not yet canceled on this OpenFlow
743 * connection.
744 *
745 * 2. The switch responds with an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply. If the request's
746 * 'flags' included NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply includes all the flows that
747 * matched the request at the time of the request (with event NXFME_ADDED).
748 * If 'flags' did not include NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply is empty.
749 *
750 * The reply uses the xid of the request (as do all replies to OpenFlow
751 * requests).
752 *
753 * 3. Whenever a change to a flow table entry matches some outstanding monitor
754 * request's criteria and flags, the switch sends a notification to the
755 * controller as an additional NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply with xid 0.
756 *
757 * When multiple outstanding monitors match a single change, only a single
758 * notification is sent. This merged notification includes the information
759 * requested in any of the individual monitors. That is, if any of the
760 * matching monitors requests actions (NXFMF_ACTIONS), the notification
761 * includes actions, and if any of the monitors request full changes for the
762 * controller's own changes (NXFMF_OWN), the controller's own changes will
763 * be included in full.
764 *
765 * 4. The controller may cancel a monitor with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL. No
766 * further notifications will be sent on the basis of the canceled monitor
767 * afterward.
768 *
769 *
770 * Buffer Management
771 * =================
772 *
773 * OpenFlow messages for flow monitor notifications can overflow the buffer
774 * space available to the switch, either temporarily (e.g. due to network
775 * conditions slowing OpenFlow traffic) or more permanently (e.g. the sustained
776 * rate of flow table change exceeds the network bandwidth between switch and
777 * controller).
778 *
779 * When Open vSwitch's notification buffer space reaches a limiting threshold,
780 * OVS reacts as follows:
781 *
782 * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
783 * all the already queued notifications. After it receives this message,
784 * the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
785 * flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.
786 *
787 * 2. As long as the notification buffer is not empty:
788 *
789 * - NXMFE_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications will not be sent.
790 *
791 * - NXFME_DELETED notifications will still be sent, but only for flows
792 * that existed before OVS sent NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED.
793 *
794 * - NXFME_ABBREV notifications will not be sent. They are treated as
795 * the expanded version (and therefore only the NXFME_DELETED
796 * components, if any, are sent).
797 *
798 * 3. When the notification buffer empties, OVS sends NXFME_ADD notifications
799 * for flows added since the buffer reached its limit and NXFME_MODIFIED
800 * notifications for flows that existed before the limit was reached and
801 * changed after the limit was reached.
802 *
803 * 4. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_RESUMED message to the controller. After
804 * it receives this message, the controller knows that its view of the flow
805 * table, as represented by flow monitor notifications, is again complete.
806 *
807 * This allows the maximum buffer space requirement for notifications to be
808 * bounded by the limit plus the maximum number of supported flows.
809 *
810 *
811 * "Flow Removed" messages
812 * =======================
813 *
814 * The flow monitor mechanism is independent of OFPT_FLOW_REMOVED and
815 * NXT_FLOW_REMOVED. Flow monitor updates for deletion are sent if
816 * NXFMF_DELETE is set on a monitor, regardless of whether the
817 * OFPFF_SEND_FLOW_REM flag was set when the flow was added. */
818
819/* NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request.
820 *
821 * The NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request's body consists of an array of zero or more
822 * instances of this structure. The request arranges to monitor the flows
823 * that match the specified criteria, which are interpreted in the same way as
824 * for NXST_FLOW.
825 *
826 * 'id' identifies a particular monitor for the purpose of allowing it to be
827 * canceled later with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL. 'id' must be unique among
828 * existing monitors that have not already been canceled.
829 *
830 * The reply includes the initial flow matches for monitors that have the

975 *
976 * The option in Type-Length-Value format is widely used in tunnel options,
977 * e.g., the base Geneve header is followed by zero or more options in TLV
978 * format. Each option consists of a four byte option header and a variable
979 * amount of option data interpreted according to the type. The generic TLV
980 * format in tunnel options is as following:
981 *
982 * 0 1 2 3
983 * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

987 * | Variable Option Data |
988 * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
989 *
990 * In order to work with this variable-length options in TLV format in
991 * tunnel options, we need to maintain a mapping table between an option
992 * TLV (defined by <class, type, length>) and an NXM field that can be
993 * operated on for the purposes of matches, actions, etc. This mapping
994 * must be explicitly specified by the user.
