[pox-dev] forwarding.l2_learning problem

[Murphy McCauley]

This assignment doesn't seem to have anything to do with L2 learning.  Do you have to base your solution on forwarding.l2_learning?  It seems like what you're describing could be written from scratch in half a dozen lines of code.

I know that how does the l2 learning switch work and it should know the MAC address then it can send the traffic to the right destination. But my tutor wants me to use the port number which can be obtained by inputting 'net' in Mininet console, it will shows eth0 eth1 etc. To achieve this target, my tutor needs me to modify some parts of the Python code of forwarding.l2_learning but I`m a rookie of Python! I really need your help for doing that!!
