    Description

      I've made a simple test on mininet. And it showed that controller writes forwarding rules only for the first iteration of packet exchange.

      1)Start the controller on local ip(127.0.0.1:6633)
      2)sudo mn --controller=remote,ip=127.0.0.1 --topo tree,3
      3)login to controller ui via browser, and adding the ip getaway(10.0.0.254/24)

      Then perform command in mininet:
      4)dpctl dump-flows
      It shows that all switch's flow-tables are empty. Then do

      5)pingall
      After that flow-tables are filled(may be checked via same dpctl)
      doing ping for any host pair(measure time approx (I had 0.1ms))
      7)dpctl del-flows
      8)try to ping again the same pair - ping goes well, but time increases a lot(I got about 3.7ms) - it means that all packages forwarded through the controller
      9)check again flow-tables - no rules are written(so the controller knows how to forward those packages - but it doesn't write rules)
