"""
Prototype test cases related to operation under load

It is recommended that these definitions be kept in their own
namespace as different groups of tests will likely define 
similar identifiers.

The switch is actively attempting to contact the controller at the address
indicated in config.

In general these test cases make some assumption about the external
configuration of the switch under test.  For now, the assumption is
that the first two OF ports are connected by a loopback cable.

    Test barrier under load with loopback

    This test assumes there is a pair of ports on the switch with
    a loopback cable connected and that spanning tree is disabled.
    A flow is installed to cause a storm of packet-in messages
    when a packet is sent to the loopbacked interface.  After causing 
    this storm, a barrier request is sent.

    The test succeeds if the barrier response is received.  Otherwise
    the test fails.
