-/* Choosing columns and tables to replicate. */
+/* Choosing columns and tables to replicate.
+ *
+ * The client may choose any subset of the columns and tables to replicate,
+ * specifying it one of two ways:
+ *
+ * - As a deny list (adding the columns or tables to replicate). To do so,
+ * the client passes false as 'monitor_everything_by_default' to
+ * ovsdb_idl_create() and then calls ovsdb_idl_add_column() and
+ * ovsdb_idl_add_table() for the desired columns and, if necessary, tables.
+ *
+ * - As an allow list (replicating all columns and tables except those
+ * explicitly removed). To do so, the client passes true as
+ * 'monitor_everything_by_default' to ovsdb_idl_create() and then calls
+ * ovsdb_idl_omit() to remove columns.
+ *
+ * There are multiple modes a column may be replicated:
+ *
+ * - Read-only. This is the default. Whenever the column changes in any
+ * replicated row, the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() will change,
+ * letting the client know to look at the replicated data again.
+ *
+ * - Write-only. This is for columns that the client sets and updates but
+ * does not want to be alerted about its own updates (which, at the OVSDB
+ * level, cannot be distinguished from updates made by any other client).
+ * The column will be replicated in the same way as for read-only columns,
+ * but the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() will not change when the
+ * column changes, saving wasted CPU time.
+ *
+ * (A "write-only" client probably does read the column so that it can know
+ * whether it needs to update it, but it doesn't expect to react to changes
+ * by other clients.)
+ *
+ * To mark a replicated column as write-only, a client calls
+ * ovsdb_idl_omit_alert(). (The column must already be replicated one of
+ * the ways described in the previous list.)
+ *
+ * This is an optimization only and does not affect behavioral correctness
+ * of an otherwise well-written client.
+ *
+ * - Read/write. In theory, an OVSDB client might both read and write a
+ * column, although OVSDB schemas are usually designed so that any given
+ * client only does one or the other. This is actually the same as
+ * read/write columns; that is, the client need take no special action.

-/* Modes with which the IDL can monitor a column.
+/* Modes with which the IDL can replicate a column. See above comment for
+ * overview.
*
- * If no bits are set, the column is not monitored at all. Its value will
- * always appear to the client to be the default value for its type.
+ * If no bits are set, the IDL does not replicate the column at all. The
+ * client will always see it with the default value for its type.
*
- * If OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR is set, then the column is replicated. Its value will
- * reflect the value in the database. If OVSDB_IDL_ALERT is also set, then the
- * value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() will change when the column's value
- * changes.
+ * If OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR is set, then the IDL replicates the column and sets it
+ * to to the value in the database. If OVSDB_IDL_ALERT is also set, then the
+ * IDL will change the value returned by ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() when the
+ * column's value changes in any row.
*
* The possible mode combinations are:
*
- * - 0, for a column that a client doesn't care about.
+ * - 0, for a column that a client doesn't care about. This is the default
+ * for every column in every table, if the client passes false for
+ * 'monitor_everything_by_default' to ovsdb_idl_create().

* - (OVSDB_IDL_MONITOR | OVSDB_IDL_ALERT), for a column that a client wants
