NS openflow module working with external controller

[rose...@gmail.com]

Hi,

  I've read the NS3 openflow switch support from this url:https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.13/models/html/openflow-switch.html.

  As shown in the below pictures, the normal of-enabled switch.

  Does this mean I can use the NS3 openflow module(Not Ofsoftswitch13) to work with external SDN controller?

  My research has left me no choice but to use the NS-3.19, so the Ofsoftswitch13 which only is compatible with NS-3.26 or greater NS3 versions is no longer an option to me. I hope that I can use the NS3 openflow module as explained in the aforementioned url to work with external controller like Floodlight.

  Could anyone please help me  on this? Thanks a lot.

Hi. Do you have any updates on this research? I am trying to link the NS3 to a (external) controller. But I don't want to perform a real-time simulation.
