Detailed Description

The IPC interface for creating ports.

The Switch factory provides an IPC interface to create ports. Ports are the only option for a client to communicate with the switch and, thus, with other network devices.

The Switch_factory gets constructed when the net switch application gets started. It thereafter gets registered on the switch's server to serve IPC create calls.
