[ovs-discuss] Automating ovs using an API or similar

Hi all,

we have been automating certain network functionality on XenServer using an API provided by Citrix. Since openvswitch is now also supported on XenServer and it offers a much richer set of functionalities in comparison to the standard features from Citrix we would like to explore the options to automatize certain configurations of the openvswitch. I'm talking about creating internal/external/bonded networks, configuring VLAN ID's, reading/setting Qos parameters, NetFlow destinations, port mirrors, etc.

I couldn't find anything on an API or SDK to remote access and manage the ovs settings of a particular Host - does this exist at all?

If not, what other options would we have to automatically manage Hosts remotely?

Thanks
Kurt
