Using the Userspace Datapath with ovs-vswitchd
----------------------------------------------
To use ovs-vswitchd in userspace mode, give the bridge a name that
begins with "netdev:" in the configuration file. For example:
To use ovs-vswitchd in userspace mode, create a bridge with datapath_type
"netdev" in the configuration database. For example:
bridge.netdev:br0.port=eth0
bridge.netdev:br0.port=eth1
bridge.netdev:br0.port=eth2
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth2
ovs-vswitchd will create a TAP device as the bridge's local interface,
named the same as the bridge minus the "netdev:" prefix, as well as
for each configured internal interface.
