Clarify config parameters/environment variables

As mentioned in the comments, ideally this script can be used as
the basis for an ONOS service in a variety of environments. Out of
the box it should work on Linux with either init.d or with systemd's
init.d compatibility. It can also be called by an upstart configuration
or a systemd configuration.

In the future we should probably remove start-stop-daemon, since that
seems to be a linux-ism. Then we could use this script on BSD, OS X,
etc..

ONOS : Open Network Operating System

What is ONOS?

ONOS is a new SDN network operating system designed for high availability, performance, scale-out.

Top-Level Features

  • High availability through clustering and distributed state management.
  • Scalability through clustering and sharding of network device control.
  • Performance that is good for a first release, and which has an architecture that will continue to support improvements.
  • Northbound abstractions for a global network view, network graph, and application intents.
  • Pluggable southbound for support of OpenFlow and new or legacy protocols.
  • Graphical user interface to view multi-layer topologies and inspect elements of the topology.
  • REST API for access to Northbound abstractions as well as CLI commands.
  • CLI for debugging.
  • Support for both proactive and reactive flow setup.
  • SDN-IP application to support interworking with traditional IP networks controlled by distributed routing protocols such as BGP.
  • IP-Optical use case demonstration.
