Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to send data from ofproto to an 
ofproto-provider implementation beside using the interface provided by struct 
ofproto-class.
The thing is, that we are working on our own ofproto-provider implementation. 
Under specific circumstances, some OF messages are handled by ofproto without 
interacting the ofproto-provider implementation. But let's say, we should 
inform our ofproto-provider implementation about what has happened at ofproto 
level. One solution would be to extend the srtuct ofproto-class with new 
function pointer member(s). We would like to avoid this, since this would imply 
modification of legacy OVS ofproto-provider (ofproto-dpif) implementation.
So my question: is there any other way (e.g. signaling) to pass information 
from ofproto to ofproto-provider? What would you suggest?

Best Regards,
Zoltan Balogh
