It's not possible to reasonably break binary data into lines with
new-lines, as this patch appears to do, because binary data can itself
contain new-line characters.
OpenFlow is "self-delimiting" because each message starts with a
header that says how long the message is, so we can simply read
messages one at a time from a file without any special delimiters. I
posted a patch a few weeks ago that adds a command to do this:
http://patchwork.openvswitch.org/patch/723/
Will you review it, please?
Thanks,
Ben.
