+.IP \fBct_state=\fIflags\fB/\fImask\fR
+.IQ \fBct_state=\fR[\fB+\fIflag\fR...][\fB-\fIflag\fR...]
+Bitwise match on connection state flags. This is used with the \fBct\fR
+action (see below).
+.IP
+The \fBct_state\fR field provides information from a connection tracking
+module. It describes whether the packet has previously traversed the
+connection tracker (tracked, or trk) and, if it has been tracked, any
+additional information that the connection tracker was able to provide about
+the connection that the current packet belongs to.
+.IP
+Individual packets may be in one of two states: Untracked or tracked. When the
+\fBct\fR action is executed on a packet, it becomes tracked for the the
+remainder of OpenFlow pipeline processing. Once a packet has become tracked,
+the state of its corresponding connection may be determined. Note that the
+\fBct_state\fR is only significant for the current \fBct_zone\fR.
+.IP
+Connections may be in one of two states: uncommitted or committed. Connections
+are uncommitted by default. To determine ongoing information about a
+connection, like whether the connection is established or not, the connection
+must be committed. When the \fBct\fR action is executed on a packet with the
+\fBcommit\fR parameter, the connection will become committed and will remain in
+this state until the end of the connection. Committed connections store state
+beyond the duration of packet processing.
+.IP
+The \fIflags\fR and \fImask\fR are 32-bit numbers written in decimal or
+in hexadecimal prefixed by \fB0x\fR. Each 1-bit in \fImask\fR requires
+that the corresponding bit in \fIflags\fR must match. Each 0-bit in
+\fImask\fR causes the corresponding bit to be ignored.
+.IP
+Alternatively, the flags can be specified by their symbolic names
+(listed below), each preceded by either \fB+\fR for a flag that must
+be set, or \fB\-\fR for a flag that must be unset, without any other
+delimiters between the flags. Flags not mentioned are wildcarded. For
+example, \fBtcp,ct_state=+trk\-new\fR matches TCP packets that
+have been run through the connection tracker and do not establish a new
+flow.
+.IP
+The following flags describe the state of the tracking:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB0x80: trk\fR"
+This packet is tracked, meaning that it has previously traversed the connection
+tracker. If this flag is not set, then no other flags will be set. If this flag
+is set, then the packet is tracked and other flags may also be set.
+.IP "\fB0x40: rpl\fR"
+The flow is in the reply direction, meaning it did not initiate the
+connection. This flag may only be present for committed connections.
+.IP "\fB0x20: inv\fR"
+The state is invalid, meaning that the connection tracker couldn't identify the
+connection. This flag is a catch-all for any problems that the connection
+tracker may have, for example:
+.RS
+.PP
+- L3/L4 protocol handler is not loaded/unavailable. With the Linux kernel
+datapath, this may mean that the "nf_conntrack_ipv4" or "nf_conntrack_ipv6"
+modules are not loaded.
+.PP
+- L3/L4 protocol handler determines that the packet is malformed.
+.PP
+- Packets are unexpected length for protocol.
+.RE
+.IP "\fB0x01: new\fR"
+This is the beginning of a new connection. This flag may only be present for
+uncommitted connections.
+.IP "\fB0x02: est\fR"
+This is part of an already existing connection. This flag may only be present
+for committed connections.
+.IP "\fB0x04: rel\fR"
+This is a connection that is related to an existing connection, for
+instance ICMP "destination unreachable" messages or FTP data connections. This
+flag may only be present for committed connections.

+The following fields are associated with the connection tracker and will only
+be populated for tracked packets. The \fBct\fR action will populate these
+fields, and allows modification of some of the below fields.
+.IP \fBct_zone=\fIzone
+Matches the given 16-bit connection \fIzone\fR exactly. This represents the
+most recent connection tracking context that \fBct\fR was executed in. Each
+zone is an independent connection tracking context, so if you wish to track
+the same packet in multiple contexts then you must use the \fBct\fR action
+multiple times. Introduced in Open vSwitch 2.5.

+.IP \fBtable=\fInumber\fR
+Fork pipeline processing in two. The original instance of the packet will
+continue processing the current actions list as an untracked packet. An
+additional instance of the packet will be sent to the connection tracker, which
+will be re-injected into the OpenFlow pipeline to resume processing in table
+\fInumber\fR, with the \fBct_state\fR and other ct match fields set. If the
+\fBtable\fR is not specified, then the packet is submitted to the connection
+tracker, but the pipeline does not fork and the ct match fields are not
+populated. It is strongly recommended to specify a table later than the current
+table to prevent loops.
+.IP \fBzone=\fIvalue\fR
+.IQ \fBzone=\fIsrc\fB[\fIstart\fB..\fIend\fB]\fR
+A 16-bit context id that can be used to isolate connections into separate
+domains, allowing overlapping network addresses in different zones. If a zone
+is not provided, then the default is to use zone zero. The \fBzone\fR may be
+specified either as an immediate 16-bit \fIvalue\fR, or may be provided from an

+The \fBct\fR action may be used as a primitive to construct stateful firewalls
+by selectively committing some traffic, then matching the \fBct_state\fR to
+allow established connections while denying new connections. The following
+flows provide an example of how to implement a simple firewall that allows new
+connections from port 1 to port 2, and only allows established connections to
+send traffic from port 2 to port 1:

+If \fBct\fR is executed on IP (or IPv6) fragments, then the message is
+implicitly reassembled before sending to the connection tracker and
+refragmented upon \fBoutput\fR, to the original maximum received fragment size.
+Reassembly occurs within the context of the \fBzone\fR. Pipeline processing
+for the initial fragments is halted; When the final fragment is received,
+the message is assembled and pipeline processing will continue for that flow.
+Because packet ordering is not guaranteed by IP protocols, it is not possible
+to determine which IP fragment will cause message reassembly (and therefore
+continue pipeline processing). As such, it is strongly recommended that
+multiple flows should not execute \fBct\fR to reassemble fragments from the
+same IP message.
