  docs: OVSDB replication design document

The database replication functionality is designed to provide "fail
over" characteristics. There are two participating databases, one of
which is the "active" database and the other is the "stand by" database.
Replication happens exclusively from the active to the stand by
database.

This document explains how the replication functionality is implemented.

  ovsdb: Introduce OVSDB replication feature

Replication is enabled by using the following option when starting the
database server:

--sync-from=server

Where 'server' can take any form described in the ovsdb-client(1)
manpage as an active connection. If this option is specified, the
replication process is immediately started.

  ovsdb: Add table exclusion functionality to OVSDB replication

A blacklist of tables that will be excluded from replication can be
specified by the following option:

--sync-exclude-tables=db:table[,db:table]…

Where 'table' corresponds to a table name, and 'db' corresponds to the
database name where the table resides.
