Each switch is currently mapping traffic into tunnels based on the destination IP address. Your job is to write the rules that forward the traffic between the switches
based on the tunnel ID.
This code does not run succesfully, because it tries to supply configurations to the data plane that the data plane does not accept yet. Specifically, it tries to populate the tables with actions that are not defined yet and it tries to read the amount of traffic that went trough the unnel. Your job is to extend the control plane and adapt the P4 program to it.
