Should you add "table" here?

  the <ref table="Logical_Flow"/> table

"an unknown addresses" would read better as "an unknown set of
addresses" or just "unknown addresses".

Done.  Thanks.

The <code> block was trying to indicate the special value "unknown" in the "mac" column, not emphasize it.  How about this instead?

        Unicast packets to unknown hosts are forwarded to
        logical ports configured with the special <code>unknown</code> 
        mac address.

Right, I was just lazy and didn't re-type it.  I meant for it to still
be there.
