Code Issues Proposed changes

Use only the first 6 characters of the node name in link names 

Linux interface names can be a maximum of 15 characters. Long node names can
exceed this limit, when combined with the patch port prefix, node index and
patch port suffix. By default, these are:

p-<node name prefix>-<node index>-(phy|ovs)

This is 7 characters, plus the node name prefix, plus the node index. A 6
character limit on the node name prefix gives a bit of wiggle room if the patch
prefix or suffix are changed from the defaults.
