- The current implementation of OpenFlow 1.4 support is not safe:
- <code>ovs-vswitchd</code> will abort when certain unimplemented
- features are tested. Thus, for now it is suitable only for
- experimental use. For this reason, OpenFlow 1.4 is supported only
- if, in addition to specifying <code>OpenFlow14</code> in this field,
- <code>ovs-vswitchd</code> is invoked with the
- <code>--enable-of14</code> option. (When support becomes safe, this
- option will be removed.)
+ OpenFlow 1.4 is not enabled by default because its implementation is
+ missing features.
</p>
+
+ <p>
+ OpenFlow 1.5 has the same risks as OpenFlow 1.4, but it is even more
+ experimental because the OpenFlow 1.5 specification is still under
+ development and thus subject to change. Pass
+ <code>--enable-of15</code> to <code>ovs-vswitchd</code> to allow
+ OpenFlow 1.5 to be enabled.
