[pox-dev] Openflow 1.3

[Murphy McCauley]

Not quite.  POX supports OpenFlow 1.0 with Nicira extensions.  Lots of OpenFlow 1.3 features are derived from the Nicira extensions so there's lots of overlap in the featuresets, but the two aren't the same thing.

If your switch supports Nicira extensions and the feature you need is available as a Nicira extension, you should be good.  If you really need OpenFlow 1.3... POX doesn't support it yet.
