COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The document seems to assume the OpenFlow dataplane abstraction model – which
is one of the possible models; the practical applicability of such model to
anything beyond experimental deployments is a completely separate question
outside of the scope of this document. The methodology tends to apply to a
broader set of central control based systems, and not only to the data plane
operations – therefore the document seems to be setting at least something
practically usable for benchmarking of such central control systems. Possibly
the document could mention such assumptions made about the overall model where
the methodology defined applies to.

A nit: s/Khasanov Boris/Boris Khasanov, unless Boris himself would insist
otherwise.
