I am actually confused by the fix. OFPBRC_IS_SLAVE is an OpenFlow 1.2+
error message, correct? The comment in the header file is changed and it
appears that this is an OpenFlow 1.0+ error message and I am not sure if
that's right. Likewise OFPBRC_IS_SLAVE is returned while rejecting slave
controllers regardless of the version of the switch. If the switch is not
running in 1.2+ mode, the code that sends the error is not going to
understand this error message, right? Which in that case, it will probably
send a Nicira vendor error back to the controller, instead of the
EPERM_ERROR as the switch used to send previously. Is this what you are
aiming to do? Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Anup
