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.
