Hi,

I would like Vswitch to control a network processor, in my case I'd like to 
perform synchronous configuration via vswitchd
This means that when a remote controller adds a new flow for example, the flow 
will be written by
Vswitchd thread to the Network processor
(To my understanding, according to previous answers in the forum, currently the 
configuration is done only when data packets arrive
at the upcall thread)
Is it logical to perform this mission from "rule_insert" function? 
(ofproto->ofproto_class->rule_insert) , or is there a better place?

Another question is whether there's a place (function) in vswitchd where 
validations upon the rule can be performed before the rule is actually written
to the memory (of vswitchd) and to the network processor
in other words, I'd like to perform the following:

a.       testing - is rule OK and there are no contradictions (related to my 
application)

b.      writing to memory (of vswitchd)

c.       set - to network processor


Thanks
Eyal
