I'm not sure if anyone has the same concern. But basically, NOX, same as other controllers, provides applications ***UNLIMITED ACCESS*** to the entire network configuration (flow entries, configuration, statistics, etc.). Do you guys think it is a potential security issue, or at least a compatibility issue? Because people might want to use third party applications to build their own customized functionality, and nobody can guarantee what weird things the module author is going to do to your network. Or what if one application gets hacked by bad guys? They might be able to have full control over the network.
It might sound weird at this moment. But it is probably becoming more serious when people want to achieve more complicated goals through combining NOX applications. Just want to learn you guys' thoughts on it. Thanks. -- Xitao Wen EECS Department, McCormick School of Engineering Northwestern University 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston IL 60208 Phone: 1-224-420-0574
