-tcpdump
--------
-The "ofp-tcpdump.patch" patch adds the ability to parse OpenFlow
-messages to tcpdump.  These instructions assume that tcpdump 4.3.0
-is going to be used, but it should work with other versions that are not
-substantially different.  To begin, download tcpdump and apply the
-patch:
-
-    wget http://www.tcpdump.org/release/tcpdump-4.3.0.tar.gz
-    tar xzf tcpdump-4.3.0.tar.gz
-    ln -s tcpdump-4.3.0 tcpdump
-    patch -p0 < ofp-tcpdump.patch
-
-Then build the new version of tcpdump:
-
-    cd tcpdump
-    ./configure
-    make
-
-Clearly, tcpdump can only parse unencrypted packets, so you will need to
-connect the controller and datapath using plain TCP.  To look at the
-traffic, tcpdump will be started in a manner similar to the following:
-
-    sudo ./tcpdump -s0 -i eth0 port 6633
-
-The "-s0" flag indicates that tcpdump should capture the entire packet.
-If the OpenFlow message is not received in its entirety, "[|openflow]" will 
-be printed instead of the OpenFlow message contents.
-
-The verbosity of the output may be increased by adding additional "-v"
-flags.  If "-vvv" is used, the raw OpenFlow data is also printed in
-hex and ASCII.
