What is the best way to proceed with that?. I took lead from the nicira extensions to ovs but they dont really explain what they are trying to do with those extension in the code(code explain HOW but not WHY of the whole extension).  I did however, understand that vendor extension method is the way to go if extensions are required regarding the OpenFlow usage.  Can anybody give some pointers in this directions.

I think you're going down the right path by looking at what the existing vendor extensions do. But it may help if you let us know what you're trying to do here. What extra functionality do you desire to add to the OVS flow tables?

Thanks,
Kyle
