pranabjb 12cea89b91 Support for OVS DB TCP socket communication. ... While adding a vif to the ovs bridge(br-int), Nova(os-vif) invokes the ovs-vsctl command. This works fine when OVS DB server is listening for connections over a UNIX file socket. OVS DB server can listen for connections over a TCP socket too [0]. If the OVS DB server is listening over a TCP socket, then the ovs-vsctl commands should include the optional argument '--db=tcp:ip:port', else vif addition to OVS bridge would fail. eg: ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:169.254.1.1:6640 add-port br-int eth0 This patch adds a new config parameter: 'ovsdb_connection'. By default, if ovsdb_connection is set to 'None', communication with OVSDB server would happen over the UNIX file socket. If it is set to tcp:IP:Port, ovs-vsctl commands would use the '--db=tcp:IP:Port' parameter for communicating over a TCP socket. Neutron already supports this feature. The ovsdb_connection parameter is configured in openvswitch_agent.ini file.
