Oh, I see, thanks.

But, as you said, "to satisfy that use case more directly", wouldn't this

Ideally, a controller/application could just say "the reply to this request
should be forwarded to all known controllers".

How do you think this use case could be satisfied with the ovs
implementation alone?
