[ovs-dev] [RFC] Provide shared library for simple actions

[Flavio Leitner]

Hi,

I've heard the same questions regarding to library/interface to
use to manage Open vSwitch bridges from different groups.

It seems that the best way to create/destroy bridges or add/remove
ports is using OVSDB protocol, but as far as I know there is no
shared library yet for that.

Since libvirt, NetworkManager and perhaps other components need
to do the same tasks, maybe openvswitch can provide such shared
library with a simple API exporting the basics (create/destroy/
add/remove)

Thoughts?
