Adding an IP based flow entry using RYU REST API

Question

I am trying to add a flow entry using RYU OFCTL REST based api (ryu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/app/ofctl_rest.html) for adding flows to an OVS Switch running on mininet

RYU is running ofctl_rest and simple_switch these two applications

I am using a simple topology with one switch 3 hosts ... h1 = 10.0.0.1

h2 = 10.0.0.2

h3 = 10.0.0.3

How do i add a flow entry to block all incoming packets from host h1.
I used a json object

data={
  "dpid": 1,
  "cookie": 2802,
  "priority": 3000,
  "match":{
   "nw_src": "10.0.0.1",
  },
  "actions": [ ]
}

But this flow entry is blocking all the pings from all the machines ...

can someone suggest how to add and IP address filtering rule in OVS using API

I tried same thing and used the command below:

curl -X POST -d '{
    "dpid": 1,
    "cookie": 0,
    "table_id": 0,
    "priority": 100,
    "flags": 1,
    "match":{
        "nw_src": "10.0.0.1",
         "dl_type": 2048
    },
    "actions":[
    ]
 }' http://localhost:8080/stats/flowentry/add

Result is ok.

mininet> dpctl dump-flows
*** s1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4):
 cookie=0x0, duration=6.722s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=6, priority=100,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.1 actions=drop
...

After inserting this rule:

mininet> h1 ping h2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1000ms

mininet> h2 ping h3
PING 10.0.0.3 (10.0.0.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.147 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.063 ms

I've used ofctl_rest app for this setup and first insert all necessary rules to make host reachable each other. Here is the script for inserting those rules:

curl -X POST -d '{
    "dpid": 1,
    "cookie": 0,
    "table_id": 0,
    "priority": 0,
    "flags": 1,
    "match":{},
    "actions":[
        {
            "type":"OUTPUT",
            "port": "CONTROLLER"
        }
    ]
 }' http://localhost:8080/stats/flowentry/add


  curl -X POST -d '{

    },
    "actions":[
        {
            "type":"OUTPUT",
