even be convenient, e.g. it is often the desired behavior in a flow
that forwards a packet to several ports ("floods" the packet).
- Sometimes one really needs to send a packet out its ingress port.
- In this case, output to OFPP_IN_PORT, which in ovs-ofctl syntax is
- expressed as just "in_port", e.g.:
