Description
made flowvisor name long enough to not have 60 byte packets, to hot fix kk's problem... Need a better long term fix

Comments
Comment by Rob Sherwood [ 04/Jul/11 ] Potentially still an issue; some switches do bad (802.1 spanlen?) things with ethernet packets that are below a certain size (60 bytes seems to be a magic number, including ethernet header). With the LLDP's that the FV sends, it's less of an issue because we send a properly formatted LLDP packet with a bunch of stuff in the payload, but someone who understands ethernet before ethernetII should look at this and verify that we don't have a problem.
