Let's assume that buffer_id is valid and keep the code simple (maybe
adding a comment on this might be a good idea though). We can drop a
packet if we hit an invalid buffer_id. In the real world, hardware
switches could sometimes drop packets for some reason. It's extremely
undesirable but not the end of the world. I don't think that it's a
good idea to make this example code too complicated to avoid such
corner case.
