Open vSwitch ships with a mirroring facility. However, this facility can
sometimes be cumbersome to setup. To make this easier for end users, this
patch series introduces a utility `ovs-tcpdump` which wraps the various
ovs database configurations to enable a mirror, and then invokes tcpdump
or a similar utility to monitor the mirror.
The `ovs-tcpdump` utility is also added to the fedora and debian distribution
packages.
Aaron Conole (3):
ovs-tcpdump: Add a tcpdump wrapper utility
fedora: Add pcap, tcpdump and tcpundump utilities to test
debian: Add the tcpdump utility to the debian package
