[ovs-dev] <conntrack><dpif-netdev>: ovs-appctl dump and flush command for userspace conntrack

[sourabh.bansal at wipro.com]

Hi Joe,

These commands will work when we are running userspace conntrack (OVS+DPDK env).
Existing commands dpctl/{dump-flush}-conntrack commands will not help here, as they are trying to get info of kernel based conntrack module.

NOTE: This implementation is over <https://github.com/ddiproietto/ovs/tree/userconntrack_20151115 > branch which is implementing userspaced conntrack module.

While the format of the patch looks closer to correct, I think my primary piece of feedback may have been misunderstood.

What does this patch provide which isn't already available via the "ovs-appctl dpctl/{dump,flush}-conntrack" commands?
