    6363 * The transvl controller can insert a flow rule to handle the translation, so every packet doesn't have to flow to the controller; but this sort of rewriting operation is typically done in the slow path on the switch, rather than at line speed. This can have a significant performance impact, so this approach is more suitable for experiments that don't have high performance requirements.

    65  * Some switch firmware will reject the tagged packets coming in on port 8, before the transvl controller sees them. In particular, the HP !OpenFlow firmware and NEC Product firmware don't seem to permit this configuration; the NEC Prototype firmware does.
