Oh! Thanks Murphy. Though RCP is pretty old, I think the technique can be applicable for Hybrid SDN networks . The traditonal routers can form neighbour ship with controllers to exchange IP information. Also, is there any documentation about the architecture of the POX controller?? Just to know as to where the controller stores the computed flows etc??
