 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

+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

+This option is only for debugging the Open vSwitch implementation of
