[pox-dev] Port mode or Link capacity

[Giannis Sapountzis]

Hi everyone.

Is there any way to get the current operation mode of a port or the link capacity when using mininet and OVS switches ?

On features reply you get the port status, which is always 10GB-Copper, as it is the one which is hardcoded in the veth pair when creating the Mininet topology, even if you use the TCLink to set link bandwidth to something different. 

With that in mind i am wondering if there is a way to get the "real" value or is it completely on what underlying switch you are using?

Thank you.
