Hi,How about controller B periodically sends Port Statistics requests to switches? The reply of Port Statistics request contains the number of transmitted/received bytes. Controller B can also fetch port bitrate by Port Description requests/replies from switches.
You can calculate link utilization using these values.

Hello Folks, Lets say i have two controllers active on the network. One is being used by team A and the other by team B. Both these teams are using the same physical infrastructure. Now lets say controller A (of team A) has directed traffic towards link X. Link X is now being utilized for its total available bandwidth. How would controller B then know that link X is being fully utilized and thus not route on that link? Are the controllers talking to each-other? And if so, how?
