Hello Everyone,
I want to use POX controller to distributed control plane ( Logically
centralized but physically distributed) . And the topology iam going to use
should support loops? So, I want to know whether POX supports loops or not?
I have tried with single controller, All hosts are not
Most (or all?) of the forwarding components POX ships with will cause
broadcast/flood storms when used on topologies with loops by themselves. This
isn't a property of POX, but of the specific forwarding components. It can be
resolved in multiple ways. One way is to disable flooding on some
This very likely has nothing to do with host_tracker at all and the real
problem is that you are running a forwarding component that's not prepared to
deal with loops.
See the other pox-dev thread from today involving loops, and/or check out the
loop question in the FAQ.
