+Q: How do I implement a new OpenFlow message?
+
+A: Add your new message to "enum ofpraw" and "enum ofptype" in
+ lib/ofp-msgs.h, following the existing pattern, then recompile and
+ fix all of the new warnings. (If you configure with
+ --enable-Werror, as described in INSTALL, then it is impossible to
+ miss any warnings.)
+
+ If you need to add an OpenFlow vendor extension message for a
+ vendor that doesn't yet have any extension messages, then you will
+ also need to edit build-aux/extract-ofp-msgs.
