network devices, using Linux kernel calls. It may be a good
place to start for full-featured netdev implementations.
- * lib/netdev-gre.c and lib/netdev-patch.c are minimal
- implementations for "virtual ports" implemented by the Open
- vSwitch datapath module for the Linux kernel. They may serve as
- a model for minimal netdev implementations.

+ implemented by the Open vSwitch datapath module for the Linux

Miscellaneous Notes
-------------------
-lib/uuid.c, used in OVSDB, assumes that it can obtain a high-quality
-random number seed at startup by reading from /dev/urandom. You may
-need to modify it if this is not true on your platform.
+lib/entropy.c assumes that it can obtain high-quality random number
+seeds at startup by reading from /dev/urandom. You will need to
+modify it if this is not true on your platform.
+
+vswitchd/system-stats.c only knows how to obtain some statistics on
+Linux. Optionally you may implement them for your platform as well.
