Adding ctx->xout->slow |= SLOW_CONTROLLER; to xlate_select_group() resolved my issue. Thank you *very* much.
So, does this statement completely shut off caching? How does it work under the hood? I am curious because intuitively "SLOW_CONTROLLER" would mean more caching should be performed at the switch (as the connection with the controller is slow). However, it seems to be working in the opposite way. Any insight into this would be really appreciated.
