    110368=== TODO to fix web service (and OF setup) for SB9 data switch ===
    111369
    … …  
    113371 1. In Indigo mode, there is a race condition between the ofprotocol service starting and the find-env script being able to pull all boot params - I think. Consequently, the ofprotocol service that talks to the controller is running blind. The reason I think it's a race condn. is since we see those boot params set when we print env vars, but the ofprotocol svc hasn't picket them up. The current fix is to restart ofprotocol with alternate script that sources the env params. So, we either fix the race condition, or we instruct the web service to execute the workaround.
    114372 1. Establish repository for FTP based loading of OF image, and set up corresponding u-boot configuration.
