Notes
1. If the controller and switches are in the same (e.g. root)namespace, they can just use the loopback connection.
2. If we can get unix domain sockets to work, we can use theminstead of an explicit control network.
3. Instead of routing, we could bridge or use ’in-band’ control.
4. Even if we dispense with this in general, it could still beuseful for people who wish to simulate a separate controlnetwork (since real networks may need one!)
5. Basically nobody ever used this code, so it has been movedinto its own class.
6. Ultimately we may wish to extend this to allow us to create acontrol network which every node’s control interface isattached to.
