one or more of the following OpenFlow connection methods:
.TP
-\fBpssl:\fR[\fIport\fR]
+\fBpssl:\fR[\fIport\fR][\fB:\fIip\fR]
Listens for SSL connections from remote OpenFlow switches on
\fIport\fR (default: 6633). The \fB--private-key\fR,
\fB--certificate\fR, and \fB--ca-cert\fR options are mandatory when
this form is used.
+By default, \fB\*(PN\fR listens for connections to any local IP
+address, but \fIip\fR may be specified to listen only for connections
+to the given \fIip\fR.
.TP
-\fBptcp:\fR[\fIport\fR]
+\fBptcp:\fR[\fIport\fR][\fB:\fIip\fR]
Listens for TCP connections from remote OpenFlow switches on
\fIport\fR (default: 6633).
+By default, \fB\*(PN\fR listens for connections to any local IP
+address, but \fIip\fR may be specified to listen only for connections
+to the given \fIip\fR.
.TP
\fBpunix:\fIfile\fR
confidence in the controller's identity. However, this option allows
a newly installed switch to obtain the controller CA certificate on
first boot using, e.g., the \fB--bootstrap-ca-cert\fR option to
-\fBsecchan\fR(8).
+\fBovs\-openflowd\fR(8).
.IP "\fB-n\fR, \fB--noflow\fR"
By default, \fBovs\-controller\fR sets up a flow in each OpenFlow switch
This option affects only flows set up by the OpenFlow controller. In
some configurations, the switch can set up some flows
on its own. To set the idle time for those flows, pass
-\fB--max-idle\fR to \fBsecchan\fR (on the switch).
+\fB--max-idle\fR to \fBovs\-openflowd\fR (on the switch).
This option has no effect when \fB-n\fR (or \fB--noflow\fR) is in use
(because the controller does not set up flows in that case).
This option is most useful for debugging. It reduces switching
performance, so it should not be used in production.

+.IP "\fB-w\fR, \fB--wildcard\fR"
+By default, \fBovs\-controller\fR sets up exact-match flows. This
+option allows it to set up wildcarded flows, which may reduce
+flow-setup latency by causing less traffic to be sent up to the
+controller.
+.IP
+This option has no effect when \fB-n\fR (or \fB--noflow\fR) is in use
+(because the controller does not set up flows in that case).
+.
+.IP "\fB-N\fR, \fB--normal\fR"
+By default, \fBovs\-controller\fR directs packets to a particular port
+or floods them. This option causes it to direct non-flooded packets
+to the OpenFlow \fBOFPP_NORMAL\fR port. This allows the switch itself
+to make decisions about packet destinations. Support for
+\fBOFPP_NORMAL\fR is optional in OpenFlow, so this option may not well
+with some non-Open vSwitch switches.

.IP "\fB--mute\fR"
Prevents ovs\-controller from replying to any OpenFlow messages sent
to it by switches.
