Tunnels are configurable through OVSDB, which has a well-defined API and the ability \
to be used over a network.  ovs-vsctl uses OVSDB to configure things like tunnels.  \
You could use that program itself or look at its source.

I imagine any controller that supports OVSDB has the ability.  For example, \
OpenDaylight has an OVSDB support, but I haven't used it myself so I can't speak to \
its capabilities.
