Fixed Bug
----------------------------------------
* On V.0.8.2, when "source port = wild and action = OFPP_ALL" entry is
written, it is not correctly written to NetFPGA and packets and bytes
are not correctly counted.
While you are running OpenFlow switch, you can check the hardware information
including its bitfile version as follows:
% cat /proc/net/openflow-netfpga
Known Bugs
----------------------------------------
* Link status detection is currently not supported.
* There is currently no support for priority amongst wildcard-match entries.
