new group or modifies an existing groups
+ * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
+ this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
+ (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
+ 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error
+ response if any other value of this field is included in
