Hi Todd, I highly appreciate for your prompt and detailed reply. One thing I want to ask is it possible that I can alter the controller's code afterwards. Because I want to isolate the control and data plane of the * quagga <http://www.quagga.net/>* software using Openflow.
I read the INSTALL.LINUX file, and found that I can install openvswitch with Linux kernel header module. I dont understand in which scenario this options '*--with-126=/path/to/linux/header/files*' would be used. Thanks in Advanced.
