/**
 * This class sends out LLDP messages containing the sending switch's datapath
 * id as well as the outgoing port number.  Received LLrescDP messages that
 * match a known switch cause a new LinkTuple to be created according to the
 * invariant rules listed below.  This new LinkTuple is also passed to routing
 * if it exists to trigger updates.
 *
 * This class also handles removing links that are associated to switch ports
 * that go down, and switches that are disconnected.
 *
 * Invariants:
 *  -portLinks and switchLinks will not contain empty Sets outside of
 *   critical sections
 *  -portLinks contains LinkTuples where one of the src or dst
 *   SwitchPortTuple matches the map key
 *  -switchLinks contains LinkTuples where one of the src or dst
 *   SwitchPortTuple's id matches the switch id
 *  -Each LinkTuple will be indexed into switchLinks for both
 *   src.id and dst.id, and portLinks for each src and dst
 *  -The updates queue is only added to from within a held write lock
