Hi Ryu Team,

This is with regards to the patch that I sent with subject "[PATCH 1/2]
simple_switch_13.py: Added ability to use buffer_id in FlowMod" (the second
one is just fixing a pep8 warning).

In the attached packet capture you can see at #52-55 that there is only the
FlowMod sent to the switch and no longer a second "PacketOut" packet, which
should be more efficient.

This is in accordance with the OF v1.3.1 specs A.3.4.1 page 65.

## Quote ##

If no buffered packet is associated with the flow mod, it must be set to
OFP_NO_BUFFER. A flow mod that includes a valid buffer_id is effectively
equivalent to sending a two-message sequence of a flow mod and a packet-out
to OFPP_TABLE, with the requirement that the switch must fully process the
flow mod before the packet out.

I hope this patch is up to your standards, I really had some painful
happenings with git and all the toolchain until it finally allowed me to
send mails in the format you wish to see.

I don't really know how to run this test suite yet, will try to figure out
next.

Benny
