/*
 * TupleMerge:
 *
 * Consider the situation when we have to create a new table
 * T for a given rule R. This occurs for the first rule inserted and
 * for later rules if it is incompatible with all existing tables.
 * In this event, we need to determine mT for a new table.
 * Setting mT = mR is not a good strategy; if another similar,
 * but slightly less specific, rule appears we will be unable to
 * add it to T and will thus have to create another new table. We
 * thus consider two factors: is the rule more strongly aligned
 * with source or destination addresses (usually the two most
 * important fields) and how much slack needs to be given to
 * allow for other rules. If the source and destination addresses
 * are close together (within 4 bits for our experiments), we use
 * both of them. Otherwise, we drop the smaller (less specific)
 * address and its associated port field from consideration; R is
 * predominantly aligned with one of the two fields and should
 * be grouped with other similar rules. This is similar to TSS
 * dropping port fields, but since it is based on observable rule
 * characteristics it is more likely to keep important fields and
 * discard less useful ones.
 * We then look at the absolute lengths of the addresses. If
 * the address is long, we are more likely to try to add shorter
 * lengths and likewise the reverse. We thus remove a few bits
 * from both address fields with more bits removed from longer
 * addresses. For 32 bit addresses, we remove 4 bits, 3 for more
 * than 24, 2 for more than 16, and so on (so 8 and fewer bits
 * don’t have any removed). We only do this for prefix fields like
 * addresses; both range fields (like ports) and exact match fields
 * (like protocol) should remain as they are.
