Hi Ben,

> I don't understand the question.  These are always linked together.

I want to write a new ofproto provider and netdev provider and have them as
dynamic libraries. The requirement is to have the implementation of the
provider Apis  contained in a separate dynamic library and not modify ovs
code base by adding private patches to register providers.
Hence, with this, I can download the OVS-Package, replace the dynamic
library for registering providers and start using OVS without touching the
OVS code base.

Is the above possible today? Thanks for the response and support.

Thanks,
S. Aravind Prasad
