thanks ethan! seems we've put the ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd (user-face) part into a container, which are basically userspace apps. But it still requires host support on the datapath module. more interesting is to put the whole ovs, including the datapath into container. there's some userspace one (through dpdk?), right?
