Is this just a temporary test tool? Otherwise i dont see reason
for its existence (or the API that it feeds on).
Please read the conversation I had with Pravin and Jesse in v1 thread.
Long story short they like to have the api separated from ovs datapath
so ovs daemon can use it to directly communicate with driver. Also John
Fastabend requested a way to work with driver flows without using ovs ->
that was the original reason I created switchdev genl api.
Regarding the "sw" tool, yes it is for testing purposes now. ovs daemon
will use directly switchdev genl api.
I hope I cleared this out.
It is - thanks Jiri.
cheers,
jamal
