Since we have implemented the prototype on OVS, it had to be layered on OVSDB. Otherwise, OVS does not have any other way to be configured other than OVSDB interface when applicable - we would also have to use vsctl commands for some configuration data.
Other OpenFlow-capable virtual switch implementations (such as LINC - no OVSDB or any DB) may have native support for OFConfig to work.

It's interesting. I have always contended that layering OF-CONFIG over OVSDB would be a reasonable approach. I guess this prototype demonstrates that it is possible. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
