    741   * They are connected to the pre-existing Ethernet jacks in the walls and floors of those rooms, which all go back to a CS server room, where we patch them through to our own (non-openflow) switch for the control network. [[BR]]
    742   * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]]
