-This option affects only flows set up by the OpenFlow controller. In
-some configurations, the switch can set up some flows
-on its own. To set the idle time for those flows, pass
-\fB\-\-max\-idle\fR to \fBovs\-openflowd\fR (on the switch).
-.IP
This option has no effect when \fB\-n\fR (or \fB\-\-noflow\fR) is in use
(because the controller does not set up flows in that case).
