Description
Some parameters would be useful to have on a per-switch basis (timeout values, per-slice FLOOD permissions, etc.). Also this would allow us a place to configure a DPID for a non-passive open.

Comment by Rob Sherwood [ 08/Jul/11 ] if you look at the flood-perms patch that I made, a flood-perms enabled config will have a .switches.default.flood_perms entry as a step towards this. It also looks (I think) for .switches.$dpid.flood_perms, so IMHO this is the right path to follow. Comment by Nick Bastin [ 08/Jul/11 ] I was thinking something a little less annoying to type, like: { "DPID" : "00:00:00:00:00:00:01:52", "Config" : { "flood_perms" : ..., "session_timeout" : 5000, // ms "stp_mode" : "HP" } } etc.
