Hello All,

I have the following topology setup
H1-S1-S2...-Sn-H2 (n varies from 1 to 20 in my testbed).

I need to pre-install set of flows in each switch (when I receive a Datapath
Join Event). To achieve this i need to know the MAC address of the connected
interfaces in the switches.

I was thinking to send an ARP request from the controller to all switches
when I receive the datapath_join_event and the switch can FLOOD the request
to all connected ports. With the ARP reply I can determine the MAC
addresses.

However I would like to know if there is a better way to get this
information (dynamically determine the MAC addresses of all connected switch
links). Is there an API which gives this information already?

Thanks for your help
Sriram
