/**
 * FlowPusher is a implementation of FlowPusherService.
 * FlowPusher assigns one message queue instance for each one switch.
 * Number of message processing threads is configurable by constructor, and
 * one thread can handle multiple message queues. Each queue will be assigned to 
 * a thread according to hash function defined by getHash().
 * Each processing thread reads messages from queues and sends it to switches
 * in round-robin. Processing thread also calculates rate of sending to suppress
 * excessive message sending.
