[I know it is still slow week - but we gotta complete going
over these suggested work items]

What it is
----------
Illustration of OpenFlow to ForCES relationship.
Refer to:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hares-forces-vs-openflow/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-haleplidis-forces-openflow-lib/

Why this is needed:
-------------------
OF has taken the industry by a storm and has shaped the SDN
world. ForCES has been doing SDN for years.
It is of informational  value to compare and contrast ForCES with
OF.
It is is of informational value to show that ForCES can be used in
conjunction or in place of OF.
It is valuable as well to learn technically from OF on how we could
add missing useful features to ForCES.

Please respond whether you:
a) are interested in doing the work
b) will review the work
c) find the work interesting and it should be done in the WG
d) do not think we should do this work

cheers,
