It is probably a mistake to run the ovs database server (osvdb-server)

I know... its just that the device has only 4 MB of flash and 16 MB of RAM, so I am looking for ways to minimize the local footprint of openvswitch.

Maybe it will fit with the local database.

IPv6 is not currently supported, but it is not a design choice, it is
only a missing feature.  We would gladly accept patches to add support
for IPv6.

I have looked a little bit more into the OpenVSwitch 1.9.0 codebase for the IPv4/IPv6 thing.

The main trouble I see is that the libs/stream*.[ch] abstraction is only able to work with IPv4 at the moment, both the variables and the functions directly use 32-bit integers for IP addresses.

Do you think a that a change of the stream abstraction library would be reasonably contained within the library, or will this spread out through the rest of openvswitch?
