field name is invalid: VPP interface logical name exceeds the length limit (63 characters)

[stanislav-chlebec]

sfc-controller generates probably logical interface names too long to digest by VPP.
I got this error message from ligato/vpp-agent

I will find out about this. I did not realize there is a limit.
