  1. Since vendor IDs may vary in length, we indicate the length in bytes that the vendor ID is when we instantiate the OFBasicVendorId. In (1) we provide the constructor with the value 4 along with the actual Vendor ID, indicating that the Nicira vendor ID is an integer (4 bytes long). 
  
- 2. As seen above in (2) and (3), the class implementing the vendor data should include the method ''getInstantiable()''. `OFBasicVendorDataType`, is a container for an instantiator of a `OFVendorData` subclass. By allowing the custom class to provide it a format, `OFBasicVendorDataType` avoids making assumptions about the structure of the message payload.
