/*************************************************************************

    This is a P4 Even Odd code:

    We defined a new packet header "operation" as follow:

                    0                                     1
    +----------------------------------+------------------------------------+
    |             number           | v |                 flag               |
    +----------------------------------+------------------------------------+                                        
    
    number = the 7 bits of the number
    v      = bit 0 of the number will be used to define if it is even or odd
    flag   = will be 0 if even, or 1 if odd

    Let us assume that the operation header is carried over Ethernet and uses
    the Ethertype 0x123 to indicate the presence of the header.

    When a packet arrives to the switch it is validated the header operation.
    Then it is verified the last bit of the number. Is odd if its last digit 
    is 1; it is even if its last digit is 0. The result will be set in flag.
