Hi Ben, I assumed that openflow was implemented in the openvswitch kernel module, therefore the EXPORT_SYMBOL approach. I understand now from your comment that openflow is not implemented in the kernel, but instead runs in user space in ovs-vswitchd. In that case we will have to use netlink sockets.
Thanks for clarifying.
