How about the following?
ovs-vswitchd can perform all configured bridging and switching locally,
or it can be configured to communicate with one or more external Open‐
Flow controllers. The switch is typically configured to connect to a
primary controller that takes charge of the bridge's flow table to
implement a network policy. Alternatively, the switch can be config‐
ured to listen to connections from service controllers. Service con‐
trollers are typically used for occasional support and maintenance,
e.g. with ovs-ofctl.
