Because of that, a configuration attribute should be added, so it
can be enabled/disabled upon starting ovsdb.

[11:09:48] <flaviof> dave_tucker: would like to have a way of 'detecting' odl-driver. so l3 fwd code should stay off w/out that loaded.
[11:10:31] <flaviof> dave_tucker: ... or had a knb in config.ini to turn it off. right now it is always on.. not really a good idea until we shook all bugs off
[11:10:33] <dave_tucker> flaviof: we can't "detect" it. but another config property for L3 would be the easiest way of doing this
[11:10:59] <dave_tucker> flaviof... but I think neutron has an extensions api and you could see if dvr was enabled.
[11:11:15] <dave_tucker> anyways, a manual fix is easiest before release
[11:11:43] <flaviof> dave_tucker: nice. do odl-driver 'enable' those? Or can you help me with the proper way of accessing that?
[11:11:59] flaviof still likes the ide of l2 config knob too
[11:12:07] <@Madhu> dave_tucker: flaviof our Karaf diet is fully working now
[11:13:50] <dave_tucker> flaviof: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-networking-v2.html extensions
[11:14:05] <flaviof> dave_tucker: thanks. /me looking
[11:14:30] <dave_tucker> not ideal to detect presence of DVR and flip on/off our routing capabilities, so I'd rather we have a switch in config.ini today
[11:15:56] <flaviof> dave_tucker: ok. default is to have it..... disabled? thinking of something like: ovsdb.l3.fwd.enabled=yes
[11:16:10] <dave_tucker> yes default disabled
