[L2SWITCH-87] Loopremover sporadically add flows for blocked ports

Thu, 19 Oct 2017 22:32:35 +0000

In a loop topology like:

sudo mn --controller=remote,ip=192.168.0.1 --custom customtopo.py --topo ring --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13

Most of the times the flows are correct when a link is blocked (s1-3 and s3-3):

However some times we see flows for blocked links (s1-3 and s3-3):
