 * OvsDBConnection Interface provides OVSDB connection management APIs which includes

 * the Controller towards the ovsdb-manager.
 * While Passive OVSDB connections are those that are initiated from the ovs towards
 * the controller.
 *
 * Applications that use OvsDBConnectionService can use the connect APIs to initiate Active
 * connections and can listen to the asynchronous Passive connections via registerConnectionListener
 * listener API.
