Fake output ports are not supported as output actions

[mail...@gmail.com]

First of all let me thank the Avior team for developing a wonderful GUI for floodlight. This tool is really helpful in configuring/viewing the flows.
There are minor bugs which I found during my usage and I will report them here. I love to fix them, but I dont know Java language.

There are 8 special (Fake output) ports defined in the openflow standard and these are not supported as output actions in Avior. The 8 special ports:
OFPP_IN_PORT = 0xfff8 => Send the packet out the input port.  This virtual port must be explicitly used in order to send back out of the input port
OFPP_TABLE= 0xfff9 => Perform actions in flow table. NB: This can only be the destination port for packet-out messages
OFPP_NORMAL = 0xfffa =>  Process with normal L2/L3 switching.
OFPP_FLOOD = 0xfffb => All physical ports except input port and those disabled by STP
OFPP_ALL = 0xfffc => All physical ports except input port.
OFPP_CONTROLLER = 0xfffd => Send to controller
OFPP_LOCAL = 0xfffe => Local openflow "port"
OFPP_NONE = 0xffff => Not associated with a physical port.

Thanks,
Ram

Now that I have learned more about OF I also realized that I had missed out on alot of import output actions. Will implement them soon, thanks alot
