We're interested in running dpipe as a daemon, and also a way to manage it, just like the virtual switch. Is there a way to do this? The reason I ask is, we would like to be able to do the following, as part of our tests:
1) remove the dpipe (I suppose, we can kill its PID, but this seems brute force)
2) alter the dpipe by applying a different wirefilter - does this mean we have to create a new dpipe every time we want a different wirefilter applied? For example, would we do this in sequence to change the wirefilter?
a) dpipe vde_plug /tmp/s1 = wirefilter -l 10 = vde_plug /tmp/s2 -> then, kill this process
b) dpipe vde_plug /tmp/s1 = wirefilter -d 1000 = vde_plug /tmp/s2
Thanks in advance,
