The zone Netlink attribute is supposed to be in network-byte order, but
the Windows code for deleting conntrack entries was treating it as
host-byte order.

Found by inspection.

Thanks for the patch, Justin.  I tested the patch, and everything looks
good.
I want to hold on the acknowledge until all of us are on the same page.

This will make the windows datapath consistent with future patches from the
userspace.
For consistency I would like to backport the patch all the way to
branch-2.6.

What do you think Sai?

Thanks,
Alin.

Thanks for the patch. Discussed about the patch offline. 

This is required since we have now introduced a newer api for deleting 5-tuples
and this breaks the assumption of zone-id not being in the right byte order.

Thanks.  I pushed this to master.

We can hold off on back-porting this. This change mainly affects the delete by 5-tuple API.

https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/817a76577fec3f03310d7d3a5a10df01340ee8ad

Unless we plan to backport that patch, we should hold off on backporting this as well.

Thanks,
Sairam

I was concerned a bit about binary compatibility between the future
userspace binaries and older kernel versions.

But Windows users usually just use the MSI (because of the signing issues).

Thanks both!

Alin.
