[pox-dev] replies from switch

2013-04-04 Thread Balázs Németh
Hello all!

I'd like to send a OFPT_STATS_REQUEST message for a switch for debugging
reasons. In the OF specification it is said the switch must reply wit
a ofp_table_stats message. How can I catch this message in the controller? S
hould I subscribe to some kind of eVent like packetin?

thanks
Balázs

Yes.

On the POX manual wiki, see the section ofp_stats_request - Requesting 
statistics from switches and especially the subsection Example - Web Flow 
Statistics.  There's also an extended version of this example called 
flow_stats.py in the Third Party section.
