Hi, Hmm..because in a network, its not possible to have all flows go into one controller only so i try to reduce the load by having one or more controllers. I tried to run in same directory but it does not work because it said the address already in use, however i tried to duplicate the nox and it worked. Both processes are running now and i just need to 'link' them up together so that i can split some load.
