Hi everyone, I'm relative new in the SDN world, specificaly in openflow, for 
that I have a some questions about the statistic data that the controller give 
me.
My network right now have a 2 OVS (configured with openvswitch 1.7) and three 
host how you can see in attachment. I'm using the floodlight controller.
Well, relatively about my questions are:
1- When I execute this command http://localhost:8080/wm/topology/links/json i 
obtained this:"src-switch": "00:00:00:1b:11:b4:16:80",    "src-port": 1,  
"src-port-state": 0,            "dst-switch": "00:00:00:02:44:a9:b5:34",        
"dst-port": 1,  "dst-port-state": 0,    "type": "internal"
But I don't understand what meaning about src/dst-port-state,i.e, 0 = up or 0 = 
down for example?
2- When I execute this command 
http://localhost:8080/wm/core/controller/switches/json i obtained this 
information:
       "uplinkPorts": null, What this mean?     "connectedSince": 
1362594430044,        "actions": 4095,        "dpid": 
"00:00:00:1b:11:b4:16:80",      "attributes": {         "supportsOfppFlood": 
true,              "supportsNxRole": true,         "FastWildcards": 4194303,    
           "supportsOfppTable": true       },      "ports": [{             
"currentFeatures": 130,         "advertisedFeatures": 0,                
"supportedFeatures": 0,         "peerFeatures": 0,              "name": "br0",  
        "state": 0,             "portNumber": 65534,            
"hardwareAddress": "00:1b:11:b4:16:80",         "config": 0     },

In this case I don't understand what is the meaning about currentFeatures, 
advertisedFeatures and supportedFeatures and why once time is 130 and other 
times 192 or 703, I read the openflow specification but I continue without 
understand.On the other hand, the state and config = 0 meaning that no physical 
link present and port is administrative down, I don't know why this value. 
Besides the tables=-1 don't have much sense to me because this parameter mean 
supported tables of datapath right? 
Finally the parameter harole = master mean that the controller was master mode? 
and the parameters supports OfppFlood=true, supportsNxRole=true and 
supportsOfppTable=true mean what?
3- The last question is how can I restart the value of counters and controller?
Thanks so much for your time and you help.
