Since this uses brctl I think a better name for RemoteSwitch would be RemoteLinuxBridge.

Unlike RemoteController, where we know the controller is away and assume it is fully created and configured outside Mininet's purview, here the ports are not getting created by MN but _are_ getting ports configured. Seems like a weird hybrid. Why not create it inside Mininet? What's the use case?
