Hello everyone,

I'm in a little bit confusion here.
I've read that there are 2 dpif implementations in ovs named as dpif-linux
and dpif-netdev.

I want to know :-
1. which implementation is used by default in mininet environment and how
to switch     to other one.
2. What is the use of the code written under datapath directory. As i tried
to change the code of datapath/vport.c, but there was no effect on the
output.
So how does this datapath/ directory serves the purpose.


Thanks & Regards,
