What is OVSDB?

OVSDB is the Open vSwitch Database Protocol. It's defined in RFC 7047 It's used mainly for managing the configuration of Open vSwitch, but it could also be used to manage your stamp collection. Philatelists Rejoice!

## Running the tests

To run integration tests, you'll need access to docker to run an Open vSwitch container. Mac users can use boot2docker

export DOCKER_IP=$(boot2docker ip)

docker-compose run test /bin/sh
# make test-local
...
# exit
docker-compose down

By invoking the command make, you will automatically get the same behaviour as what is shown above. In other words, it will start the two containers and execute make test-local from the test container.

Dependency Management

We use godep for dependency management with rewritten import paths. This allows the repo to be go getable.

To bump the version of a dependency, follow these instructions
