That's more or less correct, with the quibble that JSON-RPC doesn't have a designated "server" and "client". Either side of the connection can initiate requests. > Looking at the documentation regarding the ovsdb it seems as my client would > need to know about all DB tables, columns and rows and modify them using > specific JSON-RPC calls - correct?

That's ovs-vsctl. -- "I don't normally do acked-by's. I think it's my way of avoiding getting blamed when it all blows up."
