sendpkt.py is used in system tests to send raw packets to interfaces. It is fed with plain hex bytes that are hard to read and understand.
This patch set teaches sendpkt to accept hex strings in slightly different formats and teaches compose-packet command to generate NSH headers. With that most of the sendpkt.py calls updated to consume packets generated from OpenFlow descriptions instead of plain coding the bytes and checking code updated to compare results against these composed packets. Suggestion is to get these changes to all supported branches and start writing new tests in the same way. This patch set does add some new functionality, but it is test-only, so should be OK to backport. There are still a few plain hex calls to sendpkt.py. One is a intentionally malformed geneve packet that we can't generate (at least not fully), the others are IGMP packets that OVS doesn't fully parse and doesn't have a way to represent fully in OpenFlow. Next step might be to replace some of the packet-out calls as well.
