Forwarding Features

Forwarding Features

Tables

Single table which supports all OpenFlow 1.0 match fields and actions, plus extensions.

Jumbo Frame support

Xenon supports MTU 9000 jumbo frames. This is not configurable. The correct MTU must be configured by the user on the interfaces connected to Xenon.

QoS support

Not supported.

Controller-less forwarding behaviour

The controller-less forwarding behavior is "failed-sticky" mode. When the switch is not connected to the controller, expirations are disabled.  No new flow mods are inserted.  See PAN-97and Fail behavior for an analysis and POR.

Bonding

Xenon does not include any NIC bonding features. The user may configure a bond interface, e.g. by following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding, and add that interface to Xenon.
