Do not assume that any OpenFlow-enabled switch supports FLOOD port #3

The controller tries to send messages on FLOOD port that is an optional one and is NOT supported by OpenFlow-only switches. If a controller wants to use this port it should first make sure that the switch supports it. It can also use the ALL port that every OpenFlow-enabled switch is required to implement. See the OpenFlow 1.3.0 specification ch. 4.5.
