    Description

      Description:

      In most case we havea broadcast flow whose actions were set to broadcast group ID.
      So the configuration would be a flow --> group --> List

      {port}

      (as different actions)

      The group configuration is given below:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
      <group xmlns="urn:opendaylight:flow:inventory">
      <group-type>group-ff</group-type>
      <buckets>
      <bucket>
      <action>
      <output-action>
      <output-node-connector>openflow:1:1</output-node-connector>
      </output-action>
      <order>2</order>
      </action>
      <action>
      <output-action>
      <output-node-connector>openflow:1:4</output-node-connector>
      </output-action>
      <order>0</order>
      </action>
      <action>
      <output-action>
      <output-node-connector>openflow:1:3</output-node-connector>
      </output-action>
      <order>1</order>
      </action>
      <action>
      <output-action>
      <output-node-connector>openflow:1:5</output-node-connector>
      </output-action>
      <order>6</order>
      </action>
      <action>
      <output-action>
      <output-node-connector>openflow:1:6</output-node-connector>
      </output-action>
      <order>7</order>
      </action>

      <bucket-id>1</bucket-id>
      <watch_port>2</watch_port>
      </bucket>
      </buckets>
      <barrier>false</barrier>
      <group-name>Foo7</group-name>
      <group-id>7</group-id>
      </group>

      Now if when my switch connects with just 1 port, the group mod fails as OFPBAC_BAD_OUT_PORT, but a little later all my ports come up, but the group doesnot reconcile ever.

      Hence this can lead to traffic loss in heavy traffic scenario. Hence marking it as critical
