Alternatively, you can listen for host_bind_event which is thrown for each new host detected. It contains the dpid, port, and addresses associated with each detected host.

Hi Martin,

I saw the method get_authed_addresses(*args) require hostid - where I expect the module discovered link connection
between host and switch as we don't know what hostid or switch outthere.
is there anyway I can get the list of hosts in authenticator without knowning or passing any info?

Thanks

It requires traffic in order to reconstruct host-level information.
