controller only need send the sfc parameters to OVN northbound DB, then
ovn-controller can build the sfc flow.<br><br>networking-sfc defines some common APIs for each driver, see networking_sfc/services/sfc/drivers/base.py,

This , as Ryan pointed out will minimize the dependancies between
networking-sfc and networking-ovn. I have created additional schema for
ovs/ovn (attached) that will provide the linkage between networking-ovn
