Ben, I made the same mistake first time. I checked the http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD
ovs-openflowd, a program that implements a simple OpenFlow switch (without the special features provided by ovs-vswitchd) sing the same kernel module as ovs-vswitchd. & http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/ovsman.cgi?page=utilities%2Fovs-openflowd.8 But probably its not clear from a first time user perspective. I got the clarity after looking at the code. thanks Vishal On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 8:52 AM, Ben Pfaff <b...@nicira.com> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 11:46:20AM +0900, Derek Cormier wrote: > > Hmm it seems I was wrong.
