New action to decrement TTL instead of setting it to a fixed value.
This action will decrement the TTL and, in case of expired TTL, drop it
or execute an action passed via a nested attribute.
The default TTL expired action is to drop the packet.
Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 via the ttl and hop_limit fields, respectively.
Tested with a corresponding change in the userspace:
# ovs-dpctl dump-flows
in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl<=1 action:(drop)},1
in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl<=1 action:(drop)},2
in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:2
in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:1
# ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 42
IP (tos 0x0, ttl 41, id 61647, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 386, seq 1, length 64
# ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 120
IP (tos 0x0, ttl 119, id 62070, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 388, seq 1, length 64
# ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 1
