Thanks for your reply. In the above setup, I believe that the other two OF switches just actings as L2 learning switches, as they are not directly connected to OF controller. If this is the case, how the OF switch ( the one which is connected to Controller) inserts the rules in the other two OF switches. How in-band solves this problem. Any help is this regard is more helpful to understand the internal operation of in-band control.
Many thanks, Ramana.
