Hi Ben,

Passive tcp socket should be fine. I know the ptcp option lets you do this.
But I am not sure which command to use it with. For eg: I use the unix
socket option with ovsdb-server command so that vswitchd can connect to teh
database server. Now, ofctl needs to connect to the switch. So, which
command do I use the ptcp option with so that the switch is listening on a
tcp port that ofctl can connect to. Right now, when i do an ofctl show
tcp:127.0.0.1, i get a connection refused error.

Thanks,
Aish
