Hmm, there appears to be a lack of clarity regarding what a "switch port" means 
and what "multiple controllers" actually means.

But really this isn't a NOX issue, so you should try to clearly and accurately 
describe the problem you are seeing and then post it to mininet-discuss.

[On a more NOX-related note I might mention that we are fixing the NOX 
controller class in Mininet to make it work better, for example being able to 
type mn --controller nox,pyswitch to have Mininet start up NOX with the 
pyswitch module.]
