+.Pp
+.In sys/types.h
+.In net/if.h
+.In netinet/in.h
+.In netinet/if_ether.h
+.In net/if_bridge.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides a network interface pseudo-device.
+The interface is the forwarding part of a network switch,
+and it works along with a controller which usually is
+.Xr switchd 8
+or
+.Xr switchctl 8 through the device
+.Pa /dev/switchN .
+As the protocol between the
+.Nm
+device
+and the controller,
+OpenFlow 1.3 is supported.
+.Pp
+A
+.Nm
+interface is created using the
+.Ic ifconfig switch Ns Ar N Ic create
+or by opening the character device
+.Pa /dev/switchN .
+.Pp
+.Pa /dev/switchN
+is the OpenFlow channel of the interface
+.Pa switchN .
+It is used for exchanging OpenFlow messages.
+The device grantees
+.Xr read 2
+returns a complete OpenFlow message, it never return a message partially.
+The program which uses the
+.Pa /dev/switchN
+must write(2) per a complete OpenFlow message.
+.Sh IOCTLS
+A
+.Nm
+interface responds to all of the
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls specific to other interfaces listed in
+.Xr netintro 4 .
+.Pp
+The following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls are used commonly by
