Hi all, In NOX's documentation, it says that routing does not refer to standard IP based routing. "Routing" identifies hosts by their MACs and sets up routes per-flow. If routing doesn't know the location of the destination MAC, it floods the packet. But this raises a doubt: whenever a host wants to ping another host in another subnet, it always send packet to its gateway, a packet whose dst MAC address is the MAC address of the port of that router. So how does the router determine the location of the destination host's location if it is functioning according to the MAC address? Or if there is any facility provided by Authenticator that can transfer dst IP address into full dst location information? I see that authenticator raise a flow-in event, and the event has a struct dst_locations and route_destinations, how does authenticator fill these places?
