Open vSwitch also provides an OpenFlow implementation and tools for
those interested in OpenFlow but not additional Open vSwitch features:
* ovs-openflowd, a program that implements a simple OpenFlow
switch (without the special features provided by ovs-vswitchd)
using the same kernel module as ovs-vswitchd.
* ovs-openflowd, an alternative to ovs-vswitchd that implements a
simple OpenFlow switch, without the special features provided by
ovs-vswitchd.
