    Description

      Using iids of the form ovsdb://<ip>:<port>/
      Makes iids for ovs to controller connections change on each disconnect reconnect

      Discussion:

      a) Since passive (controller to ovs) connections require the user to decide on an iid before we connect to the switch (and thus know nothing but ip/port about what we are connecting to
      b) Since config and oper iids should match for the same ovs
      c) Therefore, we need to
      i) Capture iids from config for passive connections
      ii) 'Stamp' them into the external-ids for OpenVSwitch
      iii) When we get the operational info from registercallbacks, we should either pick the 'stamp' from external-ids if it is present, or generate a unique iid ourselves.
