I am also in need of that functionality (and that need just came up in mind last night.) Here is my tentative thought: To emulate a real network environment, host shouldn't directly connect to the controller. The only way is through the edge switch (in a DCN environment). If we are using python socket, I think TCP is not a good choice, since whenever a related packet-in from the switch, the controller should maintain some state for the hand-shaking of the connection. Thus, we shall resort to UDP, though it loses some reliability (but as a recuse, reliability could be done in L5).
