java.lang.Enum<PacketListenerRole>

com.h3c.of.ctl.pkt.PacketListenerRole

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<PacketListenerRole>

public enum PacketListenerRole
extends Enum<PacketListenerRole>

Designates the major bands of responsibility with respect to OpenFlow Packet-In processing.

The Advisor role is provided for those packet listeners who wish to annotate the MessageContext with information useful to listeners further downstream. It is expected that Advisors will not be modifying the packet in any way.

The Director role is provided for those packet listeners who will be programming the Packet-Out message in some way.

The Observer role is provided for those packet listeners who wish to observe the outcome of packet processing, but who will not be taking an active part.
