Re: [pox-dev] Create ICMP packets in POX
Hi Sadesh,
I think you can construct a ICMP request as below. I did use python
interactively just as example.
The ethernet packet object 'eth' must be sent by using openflow's
ofp_packet_out() (method) message along
with ofp_action_output() (method) action to inform switch which output port
the packet must be sent from.
python was started from pox installation directory.
>>> import pox.lib.packet as pkt
>>> from pox.lib.addresses import IPAddr,EthAddr
>>> echo = pkt.ICMP.echo(payload="0123456789")
>>> icmp = pkt.icmp(type=pkt.ICMP.TYPE_ECHO_REQUEST,payload=echo)
>>> ip =
pkt.ipv4(srcip=IPAddr("10.0.0.1"),dstip=("10.0.0.2"),protocol=pkt.ipv4.ICMP_PROTOCOL,payload=icmp)
>>> eth =
pkt.ethernet(src=EthAddr("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fe"),dst=EthAddr("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"),type=pkt.ethernet.IP_TYPE,payload=ip)
>>> print eth
[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fe>aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff IP]
>>> print eth.payload
[IP+ICMP 10.0.0.1>10.0.0.2 (cs:00 v:4 hl:5 l:20 t:64)]
>>> print eth.payload.payload
[t:ECHO_REQUEST c:0 chk:0][ICMP id:25863 seq:0]
I didn't test myself now but it should work :)
Hope it helps

Re: [pox-dev] Create ICMP packets in POX
Hey Lucas,
Thanks for the help. I was able to send icmp packets to mininet host using
the code below.
I used arbitrary source mac address and source ip. The destination ip and
destination mac address is the values of
the mininet host connected in port 1 of the switch.
However I was not able to get the icmp reply from the host.Could you please
check what the probem is.
from pox.core import core
import pox.openflow.libopenflow_01 as of
import pox.lib.packet as pkt
from pox.lib.addresses import EthAddr,IPAddr
log= core.getLogger()
class Icmp(object):
def __init__(self):
core.openflow.addListeners(self)
def _handle_PacketIn(self,event):
packet=event.parsed
if packet.find("icmp"):
log.debug("Icmp message received")
def _handle_ConnectionUp(self,event):
#This part is the ping reply
icmp=pkt.icmp()
icmp.type=pkt.TYPE_ECHO_REQUEST
echo=pkt.ICMP.echo(payload="0123456789")
icmp.payload= echo
log.debug("This is the icmp payload %s"%icmp.payload)
#Create IP payload
ipp = pkt.ipv4()
ipp.protocol=ipp.ICMP_PROTOCOL
ipp.srcip=IPAddr("10.0.0.10")
ipp.dstip=IPAddr("10.0.0.1")
ipp.payload=icmp
log.debug( "This is the ip payload %s"%ipp.payload)
#Create Ethernet Payload
e= pkt.ethernet()
e.src=EthAddr("00:00:00:00:00:10")
e.dst=EthAddr("00:00:00:00:00:01")
e.type=e.IP_TYPE
e.payload=ipp
log.debug( "This is the ethernet payload %s"%e.payload)
#Send it to first input port
msg = of.ofp_packet_out()
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=1))
msg.date=e.pack()
msg.in_port=of.OFPP_NONE
event.connection.send(msg)
def launch():
def start_switch(event):
log.debug("Controlling %s"%(event.connection))

.. I don't know what other problems this code may have, but the above will
certainly be enough to keep it from working. You mean "msg.data".

Re: [pox-dev] Create ICMP packets in POX
Thank you very much for pointing that out Murphy. However, I am still not
able to get the response ping. Please share if you have any idea.
Thanks,

Re: [pox-dev] Create ICMP packets in POX
Use Wireshark to examine the destination host's interface. Do you see the
packet? Is it as you expect it?

If mininet's destination host is connected to the same switch of your
source host or it is connected to other switch controlled by Pox (or
another OF controller) as well, the ICMP reply must be issued by the OF
component too. Isn't that the case ?

Re: [pox-dev] Create ICMP packets in POX
Hello All,
I got it. Thanks for your support.
I got arp request in POX which is enough for my need. I just had to
calculate the round trip time.
Thanks,
Sandesh Shrestha

Hi Sadesh,
I think you can construct a ICMP request as below. I did use python
interactively just as example.
The ethernet packet object 'eth' must be sent by using openflow's
ofp_packet_out() (method) message along
with ofp_action_output() (method) action to inform switch which output
port the packet must be sent from.
python was started from pox installation directory.
>>> import pox.lib.packet as pkt
>>> from pox.lib.addresses import IPAddr,EthAddr
>>> echo = pkt.ICMP.echo(payload="0123456789")
>>> icmp = pkt.icmp(type=pkt.ICMP.TYPE_ECHO_REQUEST,payload=echo)
>>> ip =
pkt.ipv4(srcip=IPAddr("10.0.0.1"),dstip=("10.0.0.2"),protocol=pkt.ipv4.ICMP_PROTOCOL,payload=icmp)
>>> eth =
pkt.ethernet(src=EthAddr("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fe"),dst=EthAddr("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"),type=pkt.ethernet.IP_TYPE,payload=ip)
>>> print eth
[aa:bb:cc:dd:
