-----------------------------------------



DSA currently limits the number of maximum switches within a tree to 4

(``DSA_MAX_SWITCHES``), and the number of ports per switch to 12 (``DSA_MAX_PORTS``).

These limits could be extended to support larger configurations would this need

arise.

- making the number of ports fully dynamic and not dependent on ``DSA_MAX_PORTS``
