Hi Kavitesh, > 1. I am new to Python so it takes a bit of time for me to get hold > of the APIs which are available in NOX controller. I am looking for some > documentation on APIs which I can/would use in programming of NOX > controller. I am not looking for generic tutorial on Python. > Although not exhaustive, part of the API is described here: http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/Developing_in_NOX The best to familiarize with the API still remains to look some examples (e.g. the components in the coreapps/examples/ folder)
> 2. I was able to run the NOX controller using “./nox_core -v -i > ptcp: pytutorial” command. In this command the pytutorial is the > pytutorial.py file. Would we not require to provide a full path for this > file(~/noxcore/src/nox/coreapps/tutorial/pytutorial.py) or the VMware > consist of some variables for this particular file? Can I replace this file > with say my test.py and run the command normally by “./nox_core -v -i ptcp: > test” > Simply replacing / renaming the file would not work; take a look at this: http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/FAQ#Where_can_I_see_and_edit_the_code_that_corresponds_to_different_NOX_components.3F > 3. I am trying to figure out a way in which packets coming from > hosts are parsed by the switch using Python. I would like to know the source > and destination address of the packets and also the port numbers like > 8080,121 etc. Any clues to the types of Python APIs which I would be > requiring would be a great help. > The packet parsing library under nox/lib/packet/ is the API for that. For example usage you could take a look at 'pyswitch', which does some basic parsing. That should give you an idea of how the API works > 4. Also, for generating traffic between the nodes created using > mIninet, should I use iPerf or cBench? > I have used iPerf and it worked fine Regards
