git clone https://github.com/ipdk-io/p4-ovs
this link does not exist, did you mean git clone https://github.com/ipdk-io/ovs ? in the installation https://github.com/ipdk-io/ovs/blob/ovs-with-p4/Documentation/intro/install/ovs-with-p4-general.rst
The ovs-with-p4 branch is obsolete. It was for an older version of the software.
P4-OVS was the pilot version of the software. It integrated OVS, Stratum, and a several other packages into a single monolithic application.
The pilot version was superseded by a disaggregated package called P4-OVS Split Architecture (to begin with), and then IPDK Networking Recipe or P4 Control Plane.
P4 Control Plane consists of a number of repositories, all on https://github.com/ipdk-io:
- networking-recipe is the superproject. It contains ovs, stratum, and a number of other repositories as submodules. The active branch is
main. - ovs is a modified fork of https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs. The active branch is
idpk-latest. - krnlmon is a heavily modified version of https://github.com/p4lang/switch. The active branch is
main. - stratum-dev is a heavily modified fork of https://github.com/stratum/stratum. The active branch is
split-arch. - p4runtime-dev is a modified fork of https://github.com/p4lang/p4runtime. The active branch is
meters.
As well as:
- p4cp-userguide is the source for the user guide.
- stratum-deps downloads and builds the Stratum dependencies.
There's a more detailed Overview of the components in the P4 Control Plane User Guide.
See https://github.com/ipdk-io/networking-recipe for more information.
I hope this helps.
The issue is with an old branch that is no longer under development. I have provided an explanation and information on the current branch(es) in an earlier comment.
See the user guide for the superproject that superseded P4-OVS for more current information.
We have not made any additions to the OVS documentation in the current branch.
