MPLS tagging using SDN controller

[raghuram369]

From the REST API guide it is not clear how to insert MPLS tags while inserting the flows into switches. The group stats shows the capabilities. So what is the json format for inserting the MPLS tag in the flow and where o do it

[sdnindia]

json models  can be found at  https://<SDN_Controller_IP>:8443/sdn/v2.0/models   

Add a flow  -  (you can take help from http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/SDN-Development/Flow-creation-via-REST-API/td-p/6197697#.UsvhPPtNzKh  )

POST /sdn/v2.0/of/datapaths/{dpid}/flows

Sample request for applying MPLS tag push action to the packet :

{"flow": {

"priority": 30000,

"table_id": 200,

"idle_timeout": 60,

"match": [

{"ipv4_src": "10.0.0.1"},

{"ipv4_dst": "10.0.0.22"},

{"ip_proto": "tcp"},

{"eth_type": "ipv4"},

{"tcp_dst": "80"}

],

"instructions": [

{"apply_actions": [

{"push_mpls" : "mpls_u"}

]

}

]

}}

Hope this helps.
