Hi Numan,

Thanks for the review.

You're right we could try to optimize a bit the number of flows.

However, I didn't want to duplicate the code that builds snat_ips [0]
and I thought it complicates the already long build_lrouter_flows()
function if I add flows to stage LR_IN_ARP_RESOLVE in the same place
where we add flows for LR_IN_IP_INPUT.

Also, the number of IP addresses per router port is usually low so the
number of redundant logical flows in lr_in_arp_resolve would be low too.

If you really have a strong preference about this, I can try to change
it though.

Regards,
Dumitru
