        Generate a test OpenFlow pipeline.

        Open vSwitch relies heavily on flow caching to get good performance for
        packet processing.  While on average, this produces good results,
        performance is heavily depedent on the slow path OpenFlow tables, and
        how they're translated into datapath megaflows.  For this reason, when
        doing performance testing it's important to run with "realistic"
        OpenFlow tables to ensure results will stand up in the real world.

        This script generates a simple OpenFlow pipeline intended to simulate
        realistic network virtualization workloads.  All traffic received is
        run through a series of OpenFlow tables designed to simulate a logical
        switch, router, and firewall, before forwarded back on the in_port.
