Hello all, Actually from last few days I am trying to run ip_loadbalancer example using POX and mininet. After introducing TCP flow using iperf in mininet, it is showing "DEBUG:iplb.00-00-00-00-00-01:No client for (IPAddr('10.0.0.2'), IPAddr('10.0.0.6'), 56422, 5001)". Even tcpdump shows only ARP request packets.
It will be great help if you send me the steps to run ip_loadbalancer. *Below is the mininet topology:* mininet> net h1 h1-eth0:s1-eth1 h2 h2-eth0:s1-eth2 h3 h3-eth0:s1-eth3 h4 h4-eth0:s1-eth4 h5 h5-eth0:s1-eth5 h6 h6-eth0:s1-eth6 s1 lo: s1-eth1:h1-eth0 s1-eth2:h2-eth0 s1-eth3:h3-eth0 s1-eth4:h4-eth0 s1-eth5:h5-eth0 s1-eth6:h6-eth0 c0 *Below is the POX output when TCP flow start using "iperf h2 h6" in Mininet:* [root@localhost pox]# ./pox.py log.level --DEBUG misc.ip_loadbalancer --ip=10.1.2.3 --servers=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2 POX 0.2.0 (carp) / Copyright 2011-2013 James McCauley, et al.
