Thanks Aaron, I am pretty new to OpenFlow, and I am trying to create an OpenFlow network in my lab which consists of few PC's with windows running as host and Linux as virtual machine....
I want to know if each OpenVswitch and the controller can be installed on different Linux virtual machines and make them communicate to create a small OpenFlow network. Looking forward for your suggestions and inputs...Thank you.
