/*
 * Fail-open mode.
 *
 * In fail-open mode, the switch detects when the controller cannot be
 * contacted or when the controller is dropping switch connections because the
 * switch does not pass its admission control policy.  In those situations the
 * switch sets up flows itself using the "normal" action.
 *
 * There is a little subtlety to implementation, to properly handle the case
 * where the controller allows switch connections but drops them a few seconds
 * later for admission control reasons.  Because of this case, we don't want to
 * just stop setting up flows when we connect to the controller: if we did,
 * then new flow setup and existing flows would stop during the duration of
 * connection to the controller, and thus the whole network would go down for
 * that period of time.
 *
 * So, instead, we add some special cases when we are connected to a
 * controller, but not yet sure that it has admitted us:
 *
 *     - We set up flows immediately ourselves, but simultaneously send out an
 *       OFPT_PACKET_IN to the controller.  We put a special bogus buffer-id in
 *       these OFPT_PACKET_IN messages so that duplicate packets don't get sent
 *       out to the network when the controller replies.
 *
 *     - We also send out OFPT_PACKET_IN messages for totally bogus packets
 *       every so often, in case no real new flows are arriving in the network.
 *
 *     - We don't flush the flow table at the time we connect, because this
 *       could cause network stuttering in a switch with lots of flows or very
 *       high-bandwidth flows by suddenly throwing lots of packets down to
 *       userspace.
