<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Hi folk,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">I am very newbie to Pox and <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">
I need to develope a framework that implements the monitoring of SDN networks.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">To do this job I've integrated a monitoring application in my framework which send to Pox controller the alert of any suspected flow on the fly and suppose the controller can manage this alerts in terms of installing appropriate rules in the openflow switch.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">To handle this tasks, I thought to define different events in Pox such as AlertDDoS event and AlertDNSPoisioning event etc,...<br><br></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">On the other hand, I need to have ConnectionUp event that trigger when the switch connect to openflow and start sending the alerts on suspected flow to the controller. <br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Therefore in _handle_ConnectionUp function I run a tcp server that receives the xml msg and parse them to find the alert on the flow<br>if there is any alert I would like to raise AlertDDoS event in order to compute and install the new rule.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">My question is that when pox is in _handle_ConnectionUp function is it possible to raise another event and force pox to execute _handle_AlertDDoS function??<br>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Is defining the events to manage this situation is a good idea?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">
Thank you in advance.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Hanieh<br></div></div>
