Thank you so much. I was able to add meter now following this link
<https://github.com/ebiken/doc-network/wiki/How-To:-Install-OVS-(Kernel-Module)-from-Source-Code>.
To build the Linux kernel module, I had to configure with --with-linux
argument. Also, I had to delete the kernel's build-in openvswitch.ko
module present in: /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/openvswitch
before loading the one from OVS source.
Deleting the built-in module is not necessary if you have built and
installed your out of tree kernel modules
correctly.

You’ll need to consult your distro’s documentation about how to
load an out-of-tree kernel module. There’s usually plenty of
examples available online.

I made sure while building that I use the module that was built
from OVS sources by creating a config file as shown in Building
section here:
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/general/
What else should I do to use the module from OVS sources?

That’s the version of ovs-vswitchd—the userspace daemon that

Alright. But I can find ovs-vswitchd version like this:
ovs-vswitchd --version
ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.10.90
Does this mean something?

I think this is indicating that you're not using the
just-built OVS kernel module. The Linux built-in OVS
kernel module doesn't return a version, but the one
built from OVS sources would indicate the version number
of OVS that you built.
