Any responses are appreciated. Checked the spec, and I do not see an action
to punt the packet to controller. In section 5.12 of openflow-spec 1.3, I
see the following actions: output, set-queue, drop, group,
push-tag/pop-tag, set-field, change-ttl. I see no send-to-controller or
some such to punt the packet to the controller. Is this not supported?!!!
Please advice.

Also, are there any plans to support command completion in ovs-vsctl,
ovs-ofctl, ovs-appctl etc. ctl commands?

Thanks,
Ashok
