  *       nl_sock_recv() reads notifications sent this way.

+ *       Specifically on Windows platform, the datapath needs to allocate a
+ *       queue for packets, and it does so only when userspace "subscribe"'s to
+ *       packets on that netlink socket.  Before closing the netlink socket,

  *       Messages received this way can overflow, just like multicast
  *       subscription messages, and they are reported the same way.  Because
  *       packet notification messages do not report the state of a table, there
