[pox-dev] How can POX get packet counts (or beta transferred) from a switch within a timeline.

[Seungwon Shin]

Hi, Weiyang

In the case of collecting the statistical information for a flow table 
You can register your listener like
--> core.openflow.addListenerByName("TableStatsReceived", <your handler>)

and your handler can parse..

def <your handler>(event):
   for item in event.stats
       print item.wildcards


You can find more information by looking at the following classes in POX source code (libopenflow_01.py)

class ofp_flow_stats

class ofp_table_stats

….

Each class has its __init__ function, and you will find all variables for stats in the function.
The variables that you are looking for should be one of them.
(E.g., wildcards is an initial variable of ofp_table_stats class).

Best,
Seungwon

The question is  that the switches sent "stats  reply back" to controller ( I detect them through wireshark) however from controller side, I don't now how to catch the reply packet and parse it as I want.
