Open vSwitch has a controller built into it that might work
sufficiently for you.

You should be able to follow the INSTALL.Linux

Which describes the use of:
ovs-vswitchd

And also gets you started with ovs-vsctl.

I would also recommend that you take a look at the ovs-vsctl man page.

I initially thought I needed nox, but ovs-vsctl handles the
functionality that I am currently using.

Hope that helps to get your started.

Thanks,
Todd
