/* Tracing
 * =======
 *
 * The Open vSwitch software datapath based switch implementation supports
 * "tracing".  A trace describes what happens to a particular kind of packet as
 * it passes through the switch, including information on each table, flow, and
 * action that would apply to the packet.  The trace is internally represented
 * as a tree that reflects control flow; for example, an OpenFlow switch
 * top-level node (of type OFT_BRIDGE) has a child node for each table visited
 * by a packet (of type OFT_TABLE), and each table node has a child node for
 * each action (OFT_ACTION) executed in the table.
