If you want to connect ovs-ofctl remotely, you need to tell ovs-vswitchd to
listen on a socket. You can do that by running a command like the following:
ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 ptcp:6633

It's described in the ovs-ofctl man page for connecting to "switch" using the
"bridge" connection type:
<bridge>: This is short for
unix:/var/run/openvswitch/<bridge>.mgmt,
as long as bridge does not contain a colon.

ovs-ofctl talks to ovs-vswitchd, and ovs-vsctl talks to ovsdb-server.
Most of this should be covered in the ovs-ofctl and ovs-vsctl man page, which
may be easier to understand now.
