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

/* This command enables or disables an Open vSwitch extension that allows a
 * controller to specify the OpenFlow table to which a flow should be added,
 * instead of having the switch decide which table is most appropriate as
 * required by OpenFlow 1.0.  Because NXM was designed as an extension to
 * OpenFlow 1.0, the extension applies equally to ofp10_flow_mod and
 * nx_flow_mod.  By default, the extension is disabled.
 *
 * When this feature is enabled, Open vSwitch treats struct ofp10_flow_mod's
 * and struct nx_flow_mod's 16-bit 'command' member as two separate fields.
 * The upper 8 bits are used as the table ID, the lower 8 bits specify the
 * command as usual.  A table ID of 0xff is treated like a wildcarded table ID.
 *
 * The specific treatment of the table ID depends on the type of flow mod:
 *
 *    - OFPFC_ADD: Given a specific table ID, the flow is always placed in that
 *      table.  If an identical flow already exists in that table only, then it
 *      is replaced.  If the flow cannot be placed in the specified table,
 *      either because the table is full or because the table cannot support
 *      flows of the given type, the switch replies with an OFPFMFC_TABLE_FULL
 *      error.  (A controller can distinguish these cases by comparing the
 *      current and maximum number of entries reported in ofp_table_stats.)
 *
 *      If the table ID is wildcarded, the switch picks an appropriate table
 *      itself.  If an identical flow already exist in the selected flow table,
 *      then it is replaced.  The choice of table might depend on the flows
 *      that are already in the switch; for example, if one table fills up then
 *      the switch might fall back to another one.
 *
 *    - OFPFC_MODIFY, OFPFC_DELETE: Given a specific table ID, only flows
 *      within that table are matched and modified or deleted.  If the table ID
 *      is wildcarded, flows within any table may be matched and modified or
 *      deleted.
 *
 *    - OFPFC_MODIFY_STRICT, OFPFC_DELETE_STRICT: Given a specific table ID,
 *      only a flow within that table may be matched and modified or deleted.
 *      If the table ID is wildcarded and exactly one flow within any table
 *      matches, then it is modified or deleted; if flows in more than one
 *      table match, then none is modified or deleted.

 *
 * Open vSwitch 1.9.0 and later omits metadata fields that are zero (as allowed

 *
 * Open vSwitch does not include non-metadata in the nx_match, because by
 * definition that information can be found in the packet itself.  The format
 * and the standards allow this, however, so controllers should be prepared to
 * tolerate future changes.
 *
 * The NXM format is convenient for reporting metadata values, but it is
 * important not to interpret the format as matching against a flow, because it
 * does not.  Nothing is being matched; arbitrary metadata masks would not be
 * meaningful.
 *

/* Flexible flow specifications (aka NXM = Nicira Extended Match).
 *
 * OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp10_match" for specifying flow matches.  This
 * structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend.  This section
 * describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
 * short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch.  This section also defines a
 * replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp10_match.
 *
 * OpenFlow 1.2+ introduced OpenFlow Extensible Match (OXM), adapting
 * the design of NXM.  The format of NXM and OXM are compatible.
 *
 *
 * Format
 * ======
 *
 * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
 * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
 * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary.  The
 * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
 * "body".
 *
 * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
 *
 * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
 * |                                                  |
 * |31                              16 15            9| 8 7                0
 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
 * |            nxm_vendor            |   nxm_field   |hm|    nxm_length    |
 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
 *
 * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
 * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of OFPXMC12_* values.  In case of
 * NXM, it's either OFPXMC12_NXM_0 or OFPXMC12_NXM_1.
 * Bits 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value.  nxm_type
 * normally designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it
 * can also refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet
 * arrived.
 *
 * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons).  The meaning
 * of this bit is explained later.
 *
 * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer.  The
 * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
 * bytes.
 *
 * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
 * constant.  It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
 * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types.  (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
 * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
 *
 *
 * Semantics
 * =========
 *
 * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
 *
 * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
 *
 *   - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
 *     field, called "nxm_value".  The nx_match matches only packets in which
 *     the field equals nxm_value.
 *
 *   - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
 *     field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
 *     value, called "nxm_mask".  For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
 *     nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
 *     matches bit J in nxm_value.  A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
 *     corresponding bit in nxm_value is ignored (it should be 0; Open vSwitch
 *     may enforce this someday), as is the corresponding bit in the field's
 *     value.  (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by
 *     the "wildcards" member of struct ofp10_match.)
 *
 *     When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
 *
 *     An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
 *     entirely.  An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
 *     nxm_hasmask.
 *
 * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
 *
 *
 * Mask Restrictions
 * =================
 *
 * Masks may be restricted:
 *
 *   - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
 *     must always be 0 when these fields are specified.  For example, the
 *     field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
 *     masked.
 *
 *   - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
 *     nxm_mask patterns.  For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
 *     may be restricted to CIDR masks.
 *
 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
 * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
 * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
 * or nxm_mask value.  A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
 * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
 *
 *
 * Prerequisite Restrictions
 * =========================
 *
 * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
 * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s.  For example:
 *
 *   - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
 *     preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
 *     and nxm_value=0x0800.  That is, matching on the IP source address is
 *     allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
 *
 *   - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
 *     preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
 *     nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
 *     nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
 *     That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
 *     type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
 *
 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
 * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions.  A switch
 * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
 *
 *
 * Ordering Restrictions
 * =====================
 *
 * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
 * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites.  Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
 * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
 *
 * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
 *
 *
 * nxm_entry Examples
 * ==================
 *
 * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
 * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values.  The diagrams are labeled with field
 * numbers and byte indexes.
 *
 *
 * 8-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=2:
 *
 *  0          3  4   5

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

/* Flow Table Monitoring
 * =====================
 *
 * NXST_FLOW_MONITOR allows a controller to keep track of changes to OpenFlow
 * flow table(s) or subsets of them, with the following workflow:
 *
 * 1. The controller sends an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request to begin monitoring
 *    flows.  The 'id' in the request must be unique among all monitors that
 *    the controller has started and not yet canceled on this OpenFlow
 *    connection.
 *
 * 2. The switch responds with an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply.  If the request's
 *    'flags' included NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply includes all the flows that
 *    matched the request at the time of the request (with event NXFME_ADDED).
 *    If 'flags' did not include NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply is empty.
 *
 *    The reply uses the xid of the request (as do all replies to OpenFlow
 *    requests).
 *
 * 3. Whenever a change to a flow table entry matches some outstanding monitor
 *    request's criteria and flags, the switch sends a notification to the
 *    controller as an additional NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply with xid 0.
 *
 *    When multiple outstanding monitors match a single change, only a single
 *    notification is sent.  This merged notification includes the information
 *    requested in any of the individual monitors.  That is, if any of the
 *    matching monitors requests actions (NXFMF_ACTIONS), the notification
 *    includes actions, and if any of the monitors request full changes for the
 *    controller's own changes (NXFMF_OWN), the controller's own changes will
 *    be included in full.
 *
 * 4. The controller may cancel a monitor with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL.  No
 *    further notifications will be sent on the basis of the canceled monitor
 *    afterward.
 *
 *
 * Buffer Management
 * =================
 *
 * OpenFlow messages for flow monitor notifications can overflow the buffer
 * space available to the switch, either temporarily (e.g. due to network
 * conditions slowing OpenFlow traffic) or more permanently (e.g. the sustained
 * rate of flow table change exceeds the network bandwidth between switch and
 * controller).
 *
 * When Open vSwitch's notification buffer space reaches a limiting threshold,
 * OVS reacts as follows:
 *
 * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
 *    all the already queued notifications.  After it receives this message,
 *    the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
 *    flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.
 *
 * 2. As long as the notification buffer is not empty:
 *
 *        - NXMFE_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications will not be sent.
 *
 *        - NXFME_DELETED notifications will still be sent, but only for flows
 *          that existed before OVS sent NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED.
 *
 *        - NXFME_ABBREV notifications will not be sent.  They are treated as
 *          the expanded version (and therefore only the NXFME_DELETED
 *          components, if any, are sent).
 *
 * 3. When the notification buffer empties, OVS sends NXFME_ADD notifications
 *    for flows added since the buffer reached its limit and NXFME_MODIFIED
 *    notifications for flows that existed before the limit was reached and
 *    changed after the limit was reached.
 *
 * 4. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_RESUMED message to the controller.  After
 *    it receives this message, the controller knows that its view of the flow
 *    table, as represented by flow monitor notifications, is again complete.
 *
 * This allows the maximum buffer space requirement for notifications to be
 * bounded by the limit plus the maximum number of supported flows.
 *
 *
 * "Flow Removed" messages
 * =======================
 *
 * The flow monitor mechanism is independent of OFPT_FLOW_REMOVED and
 * NXT_FLOW_REMOVED.  Flow monitor updates for deletion are sent if
 * NXFMF_DELETE is set on a monitor, regardless of whether the
 * OFPFF_SEND_FLOW_REM flag was set when the flow was added. */

/* NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request.
 *
 * The NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request's body consists of an array of zero or more
 * instances of this structure.  The request arranges to monitor the flows
 * that match the specified criteria, which are interpreted in the same way as
 * for NXST_FLOW.
 *
 * 'id' identifies a particular monitor for the purpose of allowing it to be
 * canceled later with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL.  'id' must be unique among
 * existing monitors that have not already been canceled.
 *
 * The reply includes the initial flow matches for monitors that have the
 * NXFMF_INITIAL flag set.  No single flow will be included in the reply more
 * than once, even if more than one requested monitor matches that flow.  The
 * reply will be empty if none of the monitors has NXFMF_INITIAL set or if none
 * of the monitors initially matches any flows.
 *
 * For NXFMF_ADD, an event will be reported if 'out_port' matches against the
