-Integration Guide for Centralized Control
-=========================================
-
-This document describes how to integrate Open vSwitch onto a new
-platform to expose the state of the switch and attached devices for
-centralized control.  (If you are looking to port the switching
-components of Open vSwitch to a new platform, please see the PORTING
-document.)  The focus of this guide is on hypervisors, but many of the
-interfaces are useful for hardware switches, as well.  The XenServer
-integration is the most mature implementation, so most of the examples
-are drawn from it.
-
-The externally visible interface to this integration is
-platform-agnostic.  We encourage anyone who integrates Open vSwitch to
-use the same interface, because keeping a uniform interface means that
-controllers require less customization for individual platforms (and
-perhaps no customization at all).
-
-Integration centers around the Open vSwitch database and mostly involves
-the 'external_ids' columns in several of the tables.  These columns are
-not interpreted by Open vSwitch itself.  Instead, they provide
-information to a controller that permits it to associate a database
-record with a more meaningful entity.  In contrast, the 'other_config'
-column is used to configure behavior of the switch.  The main job of the
-integrator, then, is to ensure that these values are correctly populated
-and maintained.
-
-An integrator sets the columns in the database by talking to the
-ovsdb-server daemon.  A few of the columns can be set during startup by
-calling the ovs-ctl tool from inside the startup scripts.  The
-'xenserver/etc_init.d_openvswitch' script provides examples of its use,
-and the ovs-ctl(8) manpage contains complete documentation.  At runtime,
-ovs-vsctl can be be used to set columns in the database.  The script
-'xenserver/etc_xensource_scripts_vif' contains examples of its use, and
-ovs-vsctl(8) manpage contains complete documentation.
-
-Python and C bindings to the database are provided if deeper integration
-with a program are needed.  The XenServer ovs-xapi-sync daemon
-('xenserver/usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_ovs-xapi-sync') provides an
-example of using the Python bindings.  More information on the python
-bindings is available at 'python/ovs/db/idl.py'.  Information on the C
-bindings is available at 'lib/ovsdb-idl.h'.
-
-The following diagram shows how integration scripts fit into the Open vSwitch
-architecture:

-
-
-A description of the most relevant fields for integration follows.  By
-setting these values, controllers are able to understand the network and
-manage it more dynamically and precisely.  For more details about the
-database and each individual column, please refer to the
-ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) manpage.
-
-
-Open_vSwitch table
-------------------
-The Open_vSwitch table describes the switch as a whole.  The
-'system_type' and 'system_version' columns identify the platform to the
-controller.  The 'external_ids:system-id' key uniquely identifies the
-physical host.  In XenServer, the system-id will likely be the same as
-the UUID returned by 'xe host-list'. This key allows controllers to
-distinguish between multiple hypervisors.
-
-Most of this configuration can be done with the ovs-ctl command at
-startup.  For example:
-
-    ovs-ctl --system-type="XenServer" --system-version="6.0.0-50762p" \
-            --system-id="${UUID}" "${other_options}" start
-
-Alternatively, the ovs-vsctl command may be used to set a particular
-value at runtime.  For example:
-
-    ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . external-ids:system-id='"${UUID}"'
-
-The 'other_config:enable-statistics' key may be set to "true" to have OVS
-populate the database with statistics (e.g., number of CPUs, memory,
-system load) for the controller's use.
-
-
-Bridge table
-------------
-The Bridge table describes individual bridges within an Open vSwitch
-instance.  The 'external-ids:bridge-id' key uniquely identifies a
-particular bridge.  In XenServer, this will likely be the same as the
-UUID returned by 'xe network-list' for that particular bridge.
-
-For example, to set the identifier for bridge "br0", the following
-command can be used:
-
-    ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 external-ids:bridge-id='"${UUID}"'
-
-The MAC address of the bridge may be manually configured by setting it
-with the "other_config:hwaddr" key.  For example:
-
-    ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 other_config:hwaddr="12:34:56:78:90:ab"
-
-
-Interface table
----------------
-The Interface table describes an interface under the control of Open
-vSwitch.  The 'external_ids' column contains keys that are used to
-provide additional information about the interface:
-
-    attached-mac
-
-        This field contains the MAC address of the device attached to
-        the interface.  On a hypervisor, this is the MAC address of the
-        interface as seen inside a VM.  It does not necessarily
-        correlate to the host-side MAC address.  For example, on
-        XenServer, the MAC address on a VIF in the hypervisor is always
-        FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, but inside the VM a normal MAC address is
-        seen.
-
-    iface-id
-
-        This field uniquely identifies the interface.  In hypervisors,
-        this allows the controller to follow VM network interfaces as
-        VMs migrate.  A well-chosen identifier should also allow an
-        administrator or a controller to associate the interface with
-        the corresponding object in the VM management system.  For
-        example, the Open vSwitch integration with XenServer by default
-        uses the XenServer assigned UUID for a VIF record as the
-        iface-id.
-
-    iface-status
-
-        In a hypervisor, there are situations where there are multiple
-        interface choices for a single virtual ethernet interface inside
-        a VM.  Valid values are "active" and "inactive".  A complete
-        description is available in the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) manpage.
-
-    vm-id
-
-        This field uniquely identifies the VM to which this interface
-        belongs.  A single VM may have multiple interfaces attached to
-        it.
-
-As in the previous tables, the ovs-vsctl command may be used to
-configure the values.  For example, to set the 'iface-id' on eth0, the
-following command can be used:
-
-    ovs-vsctl set Interface eth0 external-ids:iface-id='"${UUID}"'

+platform, please see the PORTING document.)  The focus of this guide is on
+hypervisors, but many of the interfaces are useful for hardware switches, as
+well.  The XenServer integration is the most mature implementation, so most of

+The externally visible interface to this integration is platform-agnostic.  We
+encourage anyone who integrates Open vSwitch to use the same interface, because

+A description of the most relevant fields for integration follows.  By setting
+these values, controllers are able to understand the network and manage it more
+dynamically and precisely.  For more details about the database and each
+individual column, please refer to the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) manpage.
+
+``Open_vSwitch`` table
+----------------------
+
+The ``Open_vSwitch`` table describes the switch as a whole.  The
+``system_type`` and ``system_version`` columns identify the platform to the
+controller.  The ``external_ids:system-id`` key uniquely identifies the
+physical host.  In XenServer, the system-id will likely be the same as the UUID
+returned by ``xe host-list``. This key allows controllers to distinguish
+between multiple hypervisors.
+
+Most of this configuration can be done with the ovs-ctl command at startup.
+For example:
+
+::
+
+    $ ovs-ctl --system-type="XenServer" --system-version="6.0.0-50762p" \
+        --system-id="${UUID}" "${other_options}" start
+
+Alternatively, the ovs-vsctl command may be used to set a particular value at
+runtime.  For example:
+
+::
+
+    $ ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . external-ids:system-id='"${UUID}"'
+
+The ``other_config:enable-statistics`` key may be set to ``true`` to have OVS
+populate the database with statistics (e.g., number of CPUs, memory, system
+load) for the controller's use.
+
+Bridge table
+------------
+
+The Bridge table describes individual bridges within an Open vSwitch instance.
+The ``external-ids:bridge-id`` key uniquely identifies a particular bridge.  In
+XenServer, this will likely be the same as the UUID returned by ``xe
+network-list`` for that particular bridge.
+
+For example, to set the identifier for bridge "br0", the following command can
+be used:
+
+::
+
+    $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 external-ids:bridge-id='"${UUID}"'
+
+The MAC address of the bridge may be manually configured by setting it with the
+``other_config:hwaddr`` key.  For example:
+
+::
+
+    $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 other_config:hwaddr="12:34:56:78:90:ab"
+
+Interface table
+---------------
+
+The Interface table describes an interface under the control of Open vSwitch.
+The ``external_ids`` column contains keys that are used to provide additional
+information about the interface:
+
+attached-mac
+
+  This field contains the MAC address of the device attached to the interface.
+  On a hypervisor, this is the MAC address of the interface as seen inside a
+  VM.  It does not necessarily correlate to the host-side MAC address.  For
+  example, on XenServer, the MAC address on a VIF in the hypervisor is always
+  FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, but inside the VM a normal MAC address is seen.
+
+iface-id
+
+  This field uniquely identifies the interface.  In hypervisors, this allows
+  the controller to follow VM network interfaces as VMs migrate.  A well-chosen
+  identifier should also allow an administrator or a controller to associate
+  the interface with the corresponding object in the VM management system.  For
+  example, the Open vSwitch integration with XenServer by default uses the
+  XenServer assigned UUID for a VIF record as the iface-id.
+
+iface-status
+
+  In a hypervisor, there are situations where there are multiple interface
+  choices for a single virtual ethernet interface inside a VM.  Valid values
+  are "active" and "inactive".  A complete description is available in the
+  ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) manpage.
+
+vm-id
+
+  This field uniquely identifies the VM to which this interface belongs.  A
+  single VM may have multiple interfaces attached to it.
+
+As in the previous tables, the ovs-vsctl command may be used to configure the
+values.  For example, to set the ``iface-id`` on eth0, the following command
+can be used:
+
+::
+
+    $ ovs-vsctl set Interface eth0 external-ids:iface-id='"${UUID}"'
