Hi All, I am trying to implement a network having loops (e.g. 4 switches connected to each other and one host connected to each switch). When I try to ping a host, it does not work because of the loops. Using spanning_tree component may work in this case but I don't want it since it deletes a port to get out of the loop which reduces the possible multi paths between src and dst. I don't want this because I want to route my packets based on QoS values of links. (i.e. if one path from the loop does not meet the QoS requirement, another may meet.)
For this purpose, I want my controller (POX) to discover all switches (w/ ports) and links with their corresponding QoS values and store them for future QoS routing. Does the discovery.py component do what I explained without QoS values? Also, is there any (already implemented in POX) routing component like Dijkstra algorithm to find a path between given src and dst? Or, we should implement it? Thanks, Murat
