I have question concerning linking POX controller with openvswitch. I link
bridge br0 of openvswitch to two qemu VM guests.
The configuration of qemu VM to openvswitch bridge is sudo
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1028 -net nic,macaddr=00:00:00:00:cc:10 -net
tap,script=/etc/ovs-ifup,downscript=//etc/ovs-ifdown -drive
file=/home/pads/Desktop/kvmguest/pads1.qcow2 -vnc :1.
I am using ./pox.py forwarding.l2_learning to start pox.
I hit two problems while linking openvswitch to pox.

1. packet:(udp parse) warning UDP packet data shorter than UDP len: 94 < 251

2.INFO:packet:(dhcp parse) warning DHCP packet data too short to parse
header: data len 86

The result is that whlie in guest1 I can't ping the controller's ip. The
controller ip is the same as the host ip. I don't seem to have this problem
when I use floodlight controller. Thus do I have to modify the pox
controller to make it work. I have to use POX controller to do some test. I
find from online that I may have to change the default data len number in
POX. But I am not sure.

Thank you,

Caleb
