Ok so I guess I missed out the question and that is -- is there any
document/reference/tutorial etc... which explains the mode of operation
of OVS?

Hi,
I was browsing through the documentation searching for the
internal workings of OVS. It appears there are 2 levels of details
that the OVS project provides about OVS --
1) Extreme --
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/tutorials/ovs-advanced/,
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/datapath/ etc...
2) In brief -- http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/,
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/what-is-ovs/,
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/why-ovs/
You can't jump from 1) to 2) or 2) to 1) without an intermediate 1.5)
which explains things like --
What kind of bridge does OVS make? How does it behave?
The concept of ports and interfaces.
The 'controller' and where does it exist and how to build it (well 1st
let's try to explain what this is in term of OVS).
The role of tunnels(like GRE) and how does OVS accomplish a single
switch view using them.
