ovs-ofctl works with OpenFlow switches (any OpenFlow switch, not just Open vSwitch). ovs-dpctl works with Linux kernel datapaths. dpctl is an antique from the OpenFlow reference implementation. If I recall correctly, it includes aspects of ovs-ofctl and ovs-dpctl. _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
