[pox-dev] How to make rules in accordance with workload of equipment?

[Murphy McCauley]

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by workload here, but I think you may find that what you're looking for isn't part of the OpenFlow specification (at least as of OpenFlow 1.2) unless polling simple counters periodically will suffice.  But don't take my word for it -- I'd suggest you either ask on the OpenFlow mailing list or look through the OpenFlow specifications.  If what you need is available with OpenFlow 1.0 or via the Nicira/Open vSwitch extensions, it should be possible in POX. :)
