​Are these controller running in clustered mode? You mentioned that it's
lithium controller, but if you are using openflowplugin default plugin, it
does not support clustering in lithium release.​

​is there any host connected to your switches, just want to know how are
you pinging switch to switch.​

​Packet that you see after every 5 seconds are LLDP packets that controller
send to the switch to discover the topology. ​

​that depends on the application that you are using in the controller. If
you are using l2switch and flood flows are enabled then it will just
install flows on the switches  that enabled the normal l2 forwarding.​
