    184 === Useful Tips for writing your controller ===
     184=== 3d. Download the pox apps ===
     185To help you get started with your controller writing, we will provide:
     186  * skeleton files for the controllers where you only need to complete some missing functionality
     187  * the solution: fully implemented controllers
     188  * a utility library that makes some of the pox messages easier to write
     189
     190'''In the controller terminal execute''':
     191{{{
     192  cd /tmp/pox/ext
     193  wget http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/NFVApps/pox-intro-ctrlapps.tar.gz
     194  tar xvfz pox-intro-ctrlapps.tar.gz

     196==== Useful Tips for writing your controller ====
    185197
    186198In order to make this first experience of writing a controller easier, we wrote some helpful functions that will abstract some of the particularities of POX away.

     219=== 3e. Debugging your Controller ===
    208220While you are developing your controller, some useful debugging tools are:

    242254listening on.   And once you have lines, you can choose one of the lines and choose "Decode as ...." and choose the ''OFP protocol''.

    294 === 3d. Run a port forward Controller ===
     306=== 3g. Run a port forward Controller ===
    295307
    296308Now let's do a slightly more complicated controller. OpenFlow gives you the power to overwrite fields of your packets at the switch, for example the TCP source or destination port and do port forwarding. You can have clients trying to contact a server at port 5000, and the OpenFlow switch can redirect your traffic to a service listening on port 6000.

    351363As our last exercise, instead of diverting the traffic to a different server running on the same host, we will divert the traffic to a server running on a different host and on a different port.
