Hi Ben,

Thanks for the review.
Regarding the test case, I want to clarify few points :

 # OFPT_TABLE_STATUS, OFPTR_VACANCY_UP
    if test X"$1" = X"OFPTR_VACANCY_UP"; then shift;
        ovs-vsctl -- --id=@t1 create Flow_Table flow-limit=10 -- set bridge br0 
flow_tables:1=@t1
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 mod-table br0 1 vacancy:20,80
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=1,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=2,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=3,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=4,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=5,actions=2
        echo >>expout "OFPT_TABLE_STATUS (OF1.4): reason=VACANCY_UP
table_desc:-
  table 1:
   eviction=off eviction_flags=OTHER|IMPORTANCE|LIFETIME
   vacancy=on vacancy_down=20% vacancy_up=80% vacancy=10%"
    fi

The above test case is for OFPT_TABLE_STATUS message. OFPT_TABLE_STATUS 
consists of table_desc also.
As per the specification, if the switch sends OFPT_TABLE_STATUS with reason 
VACANCY_UP then further messages with VACANCY_UP reasons are stopped until 
VACANCY_DOWN reason comes.
In the above test case, table limit is set to be 10 and 5 flows are added, also 
values of vacancy down and vacancy up are 20% and 80% respectively. 
So in this case  OFPT_TABLE_STATUS (OF1.4): reason=VACANCY_UP is sent when 
first flow is added as in this case current Vacancy is 10% which is less than 
Vacancy down threshold value 20%. Further TABLE_STATUS messages are stopped 
until VACANCY_DOWN reason comes up which will occur when the current vacancy is 
greater than or equal to vacancy up threshold value 80%.
Please verify the above understanding.

I think that this implementation confuses "occupancy" with "vacancy".
Vacancy is the amount of space free.  One of the tests that it adds
illustrates the confusion.  The test exercises vacancies from 100%
(completely empty) to 50% (half full), but the expected output includes
a message that says vacancy is 10% (which is never true during the
test):

    # OFPT_TABLE_STATUS, OFPTR_VACANCY_UP
    if test X"$1" = X"OFPTR_VACANCY_UP"; then shift;
        ovs-vsctl -- --id=@t1 create Flow_Table flow-limit=10 -- set bridge br0 
flow_tables:1=@t1
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 mod-table br0 1 vacancy:20,80
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=1,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=2,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=3,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=4,actions=2
        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 add-flow br0 table=1,in_port=5,actions=2
        echo >>expout "OFPT_TABLE_STATUS (OF1.4): reason=VACANCY_UP
table_desc:-
  table 1:
   eviction=off eviction_flags=OTHER|IMPORTANCE|LIFETIME
   vacancy=on vacancy_down=20% vacancy_up=80% vacancy=10%"
    fi
