Decrement TTL of IPv4 packet or hop limit of IPv6 packet. If the
TTL or hop limit is initially zero or decrementing would make it so, no
decrement occurs, as packets reaching TTL zero must be rejected. Instead,
a ``packet-in'' message with reason code \fBOFPR_INVALID_TTL\fR is
sent to each connected controller that has enabled receiving them,
if any. Processing the current set of actions then stops. However,
if the current set of actions was reached through ``resubmit'' then
remaining actions in outer levels resume processing. This action
also optionally supports the ability to specify a list of valid
controller ids. Each of controllers in the list will receive the
``packet_in'' message only if they have registered to receive the
remaining actions in outer levels resume processing.

This action also optionally supports the ability to specify a list of
valid controller ids. Each of the controllers in the list will receive
the ``packet_in'' message only if they have registered to receive the
invalid ttl packets. If controller ids are not specified, the
``packet_in'' message will be sent only to the controllers having
controller id zero which have registered for the invalid ttl packets.
