-.IP "\fB\-\-enable\-of14\fR"
-Specifying this option allows OpenFlow 1.4 to be used if it is enabled
-through the \fBprotocols\fR column in the \fBController\fR. Without
-this option, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR will not use OpenFlow 1.4 even if it
-is enabled that way. This option is present because OpenFlow 1.4
-support is not safe: the daemon will abort when certain unimplemented
-features are tested. Thus, for now it is suitable only for
-experimental use. When the support is implemented safely, this option
-will be removed.

Lists each MAC address/VLAN pair learned by the specified \fIbridge\fR,
along with the port on which it was learned and the age of the entry,
in seconds.

+Flushes \fIbridge\fR multicast snooping table, or all snooping tables

.IP "\fBbridge/reconnect\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
Makes \fIbridge\fR drop all of its OpenFlow controller connections and
reconnect. If \fIbridge\fR is not specified, then all bridges drop
information, and partner information. If \fIport\fR is not specified,
then displays detailed information about all interfaces with CFM
enabled.
+.SS "DPCTL DATAPATH DEBUGGING COMMANDS"
+The primary way to configure \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR is through the Open
+vSwitch database, e.g. using \fBovs\-vsctl\fR(8). These commands
+provide a debugging interface for managing datapaths. They implement
+the same features (and syntax) as \fBovs\-dpctl\fR(8). Unlike
+\fBovs\-dpctl\fR(8), these commands work with datapaths that are
+integrated into \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR (e.g. the \fBnetdev\fR datapath
+type).

+.SS "DPIF-NETDEV COMMANDS"
+These commands are used to expose internal information (mostly statistics)
+about the ``dpif-netdev'' userspace datapath. If there is only one datapath
+(as is often the case, unless \fBdpctl/\fR commands are used), the \fIdp\fR
+argument can be omitted.
+.IP "\fBdpif-netdev/pmd-stats-show\fR [\fIdp\fR]"
+Shows performance statistics for each pmd thread of the datapath \fIdp\fR.
+The special thread ``main'' sums up the statistics of every non pmd thread.
+The sum of ``emc hits'', ``masked hits'' and ``miss'' is the number of
+packets received by the datapath. Cycles are counted using the TSC or similar
+facilities (when available on the platform). To reset these counters use
+\fBdpif-netdev/pmd-stats-clear\fR. The duration of one cycle depends on the
+measuring infrastructure.
+.IP "\fBdpif-netdev/pmd-stats-clear\fR [\fIdp\fR]"
+Resets to zero the per pmd thread performance numbers shown by the
+\fBdpif-netdev/pmd-stats-show\fR command. It will NOT reset datapath or
+bridge statistics, only the values shown by the above command.
