Can you share the rest of your dump-flows output or your flow configuration
(from inventory)? With proactive-flood-mode enabled there should be a flow
installed for each openflow enabled port which forwards to all other
openflow enabled ports on said device.

If your goal is performance testing I would suggest you use directly the
openflowplugin project and generate your flows by hand or via external
script. At this point the l2switch project exists mostly for
education/introductory purposes and your results may not be truly
indicative of a real OpenFlow deployment in which flood-mode would most
definitely not be used.
