[ovs-discuss] problem in adding flows

[Justin Pettit]

Most of the priority definitions don't look wrong, but here are a few things:

	- You can't specify a priority over 65535 (I see a 65536 in there), since it's expecting a 16-bit value.
	- Your dl_type won't work with your nw_src and nw_dst definitions, since it's not an IP ethertype.
	- I'm not sure it's in your file, but you can't put numbers before your flow definitions.
	- I'd use "ovs-ofctl add-flows <file>", since that's closer to what you want to do.
