OpenFlow v1.3 Messages and Structures¶
Controller-to-Switch Messages¶
Handshake¶
-
class
os_ken.ofproto.ofproto_v1_3_parser.OFPFeaturesRequest(datapath)¶ Features request message
The controller sends a feature request to the switch upon session establishment.
This message is handled by the OSKen framework, so the OSKen application do not need to process this typically.
Example:
def send_features_request(self, datapath): ofp_parser = datapath.ofproto_parser req = ofp_parser.OFPFeaturesRequest(datapath) datapath.send_msg(req)
JSON Example:
{ "OFPFeaturesRequest": {} }

class
os_ken.ofproto.ofproto_v1_3_parser.OFPSwitchFeatures(datapath, datapath_id=None, n_buffers=None, n_tables=None, auxiliary_id=None, capabilities=None)¶ Features reply message
The switch responds with a features reply message to a features request.
This message is handled by the OSKen framework, so the OSKen application do not need to process this typically.
