OFPUnparseableMsg
(datapath, version, msg_type, msg_len, xid, body)¶ Unparseable OpenFlow message encoder class.
An instance has the following attributes at least.
Attribute
Description
datapath
A os_ken.ofproto.ofproto_protocol.ProtocolDesc instance for this message or None if OpenFlow protocol version is unsupported version.
version
OpenFlow protocol version
msg_type
Type of OpenFlow message
msg_len
Length of the message
xid
Transaction id
body
OpenFlow body data
Note
"datapath" attribute is different from os_ken.controller.controller.Datapath. So you can not use "datapath" attribute to send OpenFlow messages. For example, "datapath" attribute does not have send_msg method.

(msg)¶ OpenFlow message encoder/decoder class.
An instance has the following attributes at least.
Attribute
Description
msg

classmethod
parser
(buf)¶ Decode a protocol header.
This method is used only when decoding a packet.
Decode a protocol header at offset 0 in bytearray buf. Returns the following three objects.
An object to describe the decoded header.
A packet_base.PacketBase subclass appropriate for the rest of the packet. None when the rest of the packet should be considered as raw payload.
The rest of packet.
-
serialize
(_payload, _prev)¶ Encode a protocol header.
This method is used only when encoding a packet.
Encode a protocol header. Returns a bytearray which contains the header.
payload is the rest of the packet which will immediately follow this header.
prev is a packet_base.PacketBase subclass for the outer protocol header. prev is None if the current header is the outer-most. For example, prev is ipv4 or ipv6 for tcp.serialize.
