[ovs-dev] Flow timeout for datapath flows

[Justin Pettit]

idle_timeout and hard_timeout are not related to datapath flows; they're OpenFlow concepts.  In 1.10, you can't control how long a flow stays in the datapath.  The userspace daemon manages those flows and tries to find the optimal time to leave them in place.
