if a user specified an ip-based flowspace, then imply that ethtype = IP same with tcp/udp/icmp with ip_proto In general, need to add more usability to the config process.

Comments
Comment by Rob Sherwood [ 04/Jul/11 ] this is still an issue with 0.7.x; for example, when someone inserts a flowspace rule with an IP field specified, we should consider (there are pros and cons) forcing the dl_type to ETHER_IP. OVS forces a bunch of these things by default and we should consider doing it as well. Some switches act very differently about this (needs to be investigated). Comment by Josh Smift [ 06/Jul/11 ] This is somewhat related to https://openflow.stanford.edu/bugs/browse/FLOWVISOR-35, ja? If you force it to ETHER_IP, will that cause the rule to miss ARP?
