Hi, I am new to POX and Openflow. In my project.I have to compute working path and backup path and install them in switches.I am going to use Mininet and POX..Please guide me where to start with..
In POX, i tried with python ./pox.py openflow.discovery forwarding.l2_multi and in Mininet, sudo mn --topo single,2 --controller remote,ip=192.168.1.4,6633 The topology was built successfully. 1)I wanted to check the flow entries in the flow table of switch s1. i executed sudo dpctl dump-flows tcp:127.0.0.1:6634 Initially it showed a single entry which directed the flows to the controller. Then i executed h1 ping -c10 h2 mean while checked the flow entries using dpctl command Now it listed some 5 entries including the previous one. For the same input and poutput pairs there were 2 entries..why is it so? 2) According to my requirements, some of the switches have to generate renewal packets peroiodically, to keep the back up paths alive. Which part has to be modified for this? Please clarify the doubts.. Thanks & Regards, Padma V
