[pox-dev] Forwarding incoming packets of POX to an IDS

[Murphy McCauley]

The channel from a switch to the controller is very low bandwidth, so this may not be optimal.

But really, I don't think there's a single answer to this question.  It depends on what exactly you're trying to accomplish.

I want that all the packets coming to the POX controller are sent to SNORT IDS. I have installed SNORT on my local machine but I am not sure how to forward incoming packets in POX controller to SNORT?
