Open vSwitch ships with a mirroring facility. However, this facility can sometimes be cumbersome to setup. To make this easier for end users, this patch series introduces a utility `ovs-tcpdump` which wraps the various ovs database configurations to enable a mirror, and then invokes tcpdump or a similar utility to monitor the mirror.
The `ovs-tcpdump` utility is also added to the fedora and debian distribution packages.
