Hi All,

branch-20.09 has been created. Please note that after the soft freeze,
there have been few bug fixes
and Anton's most of the build_lrouter_flows refactor patches have been
applied by me. Since those
patches split the code into functions, I thought of including them before
creating the branch.

Hi Ihar,

I provided some comments to your patch. Since 18th  September is the hard
freeze,  If you can address
the comments and post the patch, I can take a look.

I could not look into this second one. I would appreciate it if someone can
review this patch.

Thanks
