[GENIUS-46] Leftovers in dispatcher table when unbind and ietf-state delete occurs simultaneously

Fri, 19 May 2017 01:42:25 +0000

If FlowBasedServicesConfigListener.remove() needs ietf-interfce from oper DS in order to delete T17 flow
FlowBasedServicesInterfaceStateListener.remove() needs the bound-service in order to delete T17 flows.
If deletion of both takes place in a short timeframe, there could be case where each listener won't be able to find the other model and the dispatcher flow will remain.
The consequences are beyond stale entries - it can affect future service bindings recycling the same lport-tag. New traffic may be hijacked by a stale entry having higher OF priority.
