Implement new "learn" action.
There are a few loose ends here. First, learning actions cause too much flow revalidation. Upcoming commits will fix that problem. The following additional issues have not yet been addressed: * Resource limits: nothing yet limits the maximum number of flows that can be learned. It is possible to exhaust all system memory. * Age reporting: there is no way to find out how soon a learned table entry is due to be evicted. To try this action out, here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC learning switch. It uses a 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier to see what's going on: ovs-vsctl del-controller br0 ovs-ofctl del-flows br0 ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, hard_timeout=10, \ NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \ output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)" ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood" You can then dump the MAC learning table with: ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1
