I actually don't remember if the down events will get printed on the console by 
default; it may make sense to write a small component that just prints link and 
switch down messages.

My reason for asking is that I have long suspected that there may be an issue 
where you don't get optimal paths after links go down, but have never looked 
into it really deeply (and at this point, I probably never will).

Are you also running the spanning_tree component?  If not, you probably should. 
:)  You also might get somewhat better results with the version in the 
github.com/MurphyMc/pox fork, which is where my pre-upstream work is being 
collected.
