&#39;flow_mode&#39; struct, the controller applications should also play around with \
this struct. The controller applications sholuld put some values in &quot;flow_mod \
*fm&quot; and send it back to the switch. The switch then receive this struct as \
argument of add_flow() and add the flow in his flow table. </div> <div \

"> Now problem is that most of the controller applications, which I have seen, play \
around with struct &quot;struct ofp_flow_mod *ofm&quot; instead of &quot;struct \
flow_mod&quot;. Is the open vSwitch code, internally convert the &quot;ofp_flow_mod \
*ofm&quot; to &quot;flow_mod *fm&quot;? And then call add_flow function with \
&#39;flow_mod&#39; struct. Is it safe to use ofp_flow_mod in controller applications \
and then use flow_mod at switch side for adding flows.</div> <div style="margin-top: \
