Hi Fawad, there hasn't been any such feature implemented; The closest to that would be sending string commands to the "messenger" component from an external application, and then "messenger" would dispatch that message to a component that would parse it, create the appropriate flow_mod and send it to a datapath. So a good amount of the infrastructure for that is there, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement; I believe the reason it hasn't been implemented is that the need for it hasn't been too strong.
