.IP "\fBController\fR"
Configuration for an OpenFlow controller. A controller attached to a
-particular bridge may be identified by the bridge's name. The default
-controller controller for an Open vSwitch may be identified by
-specifying \fB.\fR as the record name.
+particular bridge may be identified by the bridge's name.

A NetFlow configuration attached to a bridge. Records may be
identified by bridge name.
An sFlow configuration attached to a bridge. Records may be
identified by bridge name.
