SFP supports hard/idle timouts w/drawback of needlessly sending flow_del to switch (which gets silently discarded). This is a good first step but needs to be followed up with a solution to the redundant flow_del msg. Also, patched MatchSerializer to display masks if present and fixed a bug in OFInstructionListSerializer for metadata and goto_table instructions. Added masking support to all SFP match fields. OVS supports some masked fields that are not defined in the OF1.3 spec. Oddly enough, OVS returns a bad-match error message even though the flow gets inserted. I suppose that message is due to the OF protocol not supporting it. OVS should squelch it if it supports it though. In any case, Floodlight is equipped to support all present MatchFields as masked MatchFields in the future. To specify a mask to any field (beside MPLS BOS, which is a boolean), use a CIDR-style '/' after the value and before the mask. All values and masks support decimal or hexadecimal (with leading '0x'), with the exception of all values that are MacAddress or IPAddress types -- they only support hex-string or dotted-decimal, respectively. Lastly, an English typo has been fixed in IStaticFlowEntryPusherService.

Removed some more unnecessary comments. Don't know how hard_timeout and idle_timeout got reverted in the SFP...

Just kidding. Went ahead and added a general try-catch in for actions and matches. In the next minor release, these messages will be returned as errors via the REST API so that partial flows cannot be inserted (based on the correct portions of the JSON-defined flow) and so that the log will not need to be inspected to find the root cause.

Last-minute SFP additions to catch some exceptions. Still have more to go, but they can wait, since it'd be from user error.

Added support for features request message via the REST API. Changed the case of some JSON keys to camel.

Updated circuitpusher with new SFP syntax. Updated Forwarding(Base) to use a default priority of 1, since in OF1.3 we have a priority=0 table-miss flow that will also match. Trying to update the Web UI to display flows correctly.

Added insertion of default table-miss flow for OF1.3 switches. Also added clearing of switch tables when switch connects. Both of these only occur if the controller is in the MASTER role for the switch. It if is placed in SLAVE, the switch flow tables will not be modified. Also had to update the unit tests with new expectations for IOFSwitchBackend fuction calls (which was a real pain).

Added REST API support for getting list of loaded and all modules. Tinkered with Web UI's flow action display. The problem is that the actions (write and apply) will not display for any flow. Need to spend some time figuring out the issue.

Added serializers for Group Stats, Group Desc, Group Features, Meter Stats, Meter Config, Meter Features, Table Stats & Table features

Added MPLS_BOS and TUNNEL_ID support to SFP, since Loxi now supports it. Also changed MatchUtils's fromString() function's header to include the updated syntax for fields.

Add in firewall again. Fixed an issue where all packets would be dropped if a rule could not be found. Also fixed an issue where all-zero MAC addresses would be used as a match for wildcarded MACs in some cases.

Changed log level to INFO for most packages. Set LLDP log level to INFO to see evidence the controller is alive every 10s.

Verified all REST APIs except Firewall and VirtualNetworkFilter. Added JSON return for clearing SFP flows.
