[pox-dev] Install dropping rule

[Silvia Fichera]

Thank you for your answer.
You're right, it seems it doesn't match.

I've done the capture with wireshark yesterday morning and compare the
packet, and it should work, but it doesn't...maybe I'm loosing some details.
I'm attaching the capture.

The threshold by now is 10.

The first syn I receive in the packet n°62, from 10.2.3.88 to 10.0.0.2, I
answer via packet_out with the syn ack (n°63).

When I receive the 11th syn I install the rule (n°106).

When the source ip is changed (now it is 10.2.3.8), I receive the syn as a
packet in (n°128) and it installs again the rule (n° 130).
But if the packet matches the rule it shouldn't happen, right?!
