Member Function Documentation

virtual void ns3::ofi::Controller::AddSwitch ( Ptr< OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice > swtch )

virtual

Adds a switch to the controller.

Parameters

swtch The switch to register.

ofp_flow_mod* ns3::ofi::Controller::BuildFlow	(	sw_flow_key	key,
		uint32_t	buffer_id,
		uint16_t	command,
		void *	acts,
		size_t	actions_len,
		int	idle_timeout,
		int	hard_timeout
	)

protected

Internal:

Construct flow data from a matching key to build a flow entry for adding, modifying, or deleting a flow.

Parameters

key	The matching key data; used to create a flow that matches the packet.
buffer_id	The OpenFlow Buffer ID; used to run the actions on the packet if we add or modify the flow.
command	Whether to add, modify, or delete this flow.
acts	List of actions to execute.
actions_len	Length of the actions buffer.
idle_timeout	Flow expires if left inactive for this amount of time (specify OFP_FLOW_PERMANENT to disable feature).
hard_timeout	Flow expires after this amount of time (specify OFP_FLOW_PERMANENT to disable feature).

Returns: Flow data that when passed to SetFlow will add, modify, or delete a flow it defines.

uint8_t ns3::ofi::Controller::GetPacketType ( ofpbuf * buffer )

protected

Internal:

Get the packet type on the buffer, which can then be used to determine how to handle the buffer.

Parameters

buffer The packet in OpenFlow buffer format.

Returns: The packet type, as defined in the ofp_type struct.

Here is the call graph for this function:

virtual void ns3::ofi::Controller::ReceiveFromSwitch	(	Ptr< OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice >	swtch,
		ofpbuf *	buffer
	)

inlinevirtual

A switch calls this method to pass a message on to the Controller.

Parameters

swtch	The switch the message was received from.
buffer	The message.

Reimplemented in ns3::ofi::LearningController, and ns3::ofi::DropController.

Definition at line 376 of file openflow-interface.h.

virtual void ns3::ofi::Controller::SendToSwitch	(	Ptr< OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice >	swtch,
		void *	msg,
		size_t	length
	)

protectedvirtual

Internal:

However the controller is implemented, this method is to be used to pass a message on to a switch.

Parameters

swtch	The switch to receive the message.
msg	The message to send.
length	The length of the message.

void ns3::ofi::Controller::StartDump ( StatsDumpCallback * cb )

Starts a callback-based, reliable, possibly multi-message reply to a request made by the controller.

If an incoming request needs to have a reliable reply that might require multiple messages, it can use StartDump() to set up a callback that will be called as buffer space for replies.

A stats request made by the controller is processed by the switch, the switch then calls this method to tell the controller to start asking for information. By default (it can be overridden), the controller stops all work to run through the callback. ReceiveFromSwitch must be defined appropriately to handle the status reply messages generated by the switch, or otherwise the status reply messages will be sent and discarded.

Parameters

cb	The callback data.
