Group Events

The following group events are supported by OpenFlow:
  • Add group
  • Delete group
  • Add port to the group
  • Delete port from the group
  • Group type modification
  • Group output port is up
  • Group output port is down

Statistics

Group statistics are cumulative flow statistics that use the group ID in the action list. The following statistics are supported per group:

  • Reference count (flow entries)
  • Packet count (limited support on different devices)
  • Byte count

Group Considerations for OpenFlow Hybrid Ports

  • A group table does not affect hybrid functionality.
  • Flows within a group on the hybrid port are treated the same as other flows.
  • A group can support output port Normal and the hybrid OpenFlow port together.
