Docker user facing APIs around networking is such that integration
with OVS will need a control plane to provide the desired multi-host
networking to work. OVN is an option for that. So OVN is one way to
integrate Docker with OVS. It is not necessarily the only way as there
are a lot of other people integrating Docker with OVS with their own
control plane.

Docker's libnetwork works with REST APIs. So the driver, as long as it
implements all the REST APIs that Docker expects can reside
independently of Docker daemon. One way to install that driver is via
OVN packaging.
