The datapacket is an OF version agnostic data packet abstraction which may also contain platform specific state (likely at least a reference to the packet buffer in the platform).

typedef struct datapacket datapacket_t

Data packet abstraction.

Abstraction that represents a data packet that may transverse one Logical Switch OpenFlow Pipeline. This abstraction is OpenFlow version agnostic. It contains a (void*) reference, platform_state to allow the user of the library to keep platform specific state while transversing the pipeline, which the packet mangling APIs may use afterwards.
