Many people who are looking for an OpenFlow switch assume that
the only way to do it is using ovs-openflowd. Sometimes they also
run ovs-vswitchd at the same time. Try to clarify that neither
of these are necessary and ovs-vswitchd can handle OpenFlow by
itself and is the preferred method of doing so.
Open vSwitch uses OpenFlow as its preferred method of remote flow
table configuration. This is the simplest method of using it with an

However, it is also possible to use Open vSwitch as a simple OpenFlow
