Agreed. We'll add a "life of a packet" walk through when we update the
documentation.
Hi Martin...
a step-by-step journey from the end-host to switch and then to a controller in
a very simple network will be of great help. Even for some very basic
components would enable greater understanding.... regards.

Agreed, this is sorely needed. To be clear, what happens internal to Nox
depends on the components being run. Perhaps a step-by-step description of
path setup with the basic components (authenticator, routing) would be most
useful?
Need a little help. I am going through the code of NOX-full version 0.5 (beta).
I would like to know if there is a object diagram or sequence diagram for the
code. Specifically I wish to know if there is some flowchart that shows the
life of a packet in the NOX network right from the moment it originates from
the end-host, it goes to the OF Switch (reference implementation) and then to
the NOX Controller.
It will be helpful for me to understand the code if such a reference exists.
Since it is the full version, there are various management applications in the
component class. I do not have a test-setup to experiment and understand the
flow in details.
I am able to get some information from the nox-mailing list, as for example the
description given by Martin here:
http://noxrepo.org/pipermail/nox-dev_noxrepo.org/2009-October/000882.html
and similar posts does through some light. But, if some flow-diagram or
sequence diagram exists in, would be of great help. Infact, I would eventually
like to test in the setup similar to the one shown in here:
http://noxrepo.org/pipermail/nox-dev_noxrepo.org/2009-October/000872.html
but, with all the switches in the same subnet (since as Martin mentioned,
different subnets would not work).
Anyway information on the flow would be helpful.
Regs.
