[pox-dev] Can pox connect or communicate with host?

[Shiyao Ma]

I am also in need of that functionality (and that need just came up in mind
last night.)
Here is my tentative thought:
To emulate a real network environment, host shouldn't directly connect to
the controller. The only way is through the edge switch (in a DCN
environment).
If we are using python socket, I think TCP is not a good choice, since
whenever a related packet-in from the switch, the controller should
maintain some state for the hand-shaking of the connection. Thus, we shall
resort to UDP, though it loses some reliability (but as a recuse,
reliability could be done in L5).
