Allow the user to define a maximum number of switches that can connect.

mininet with proxy

hi, I am trying to make a mininet network with 2 switches and 2 controllers (POX) i want to use proxy between the switches and the controller "the echo msgs coming from the switches pass through the proxy and i forward them to the controller i want ", can u tell me how to use your code to do that

Trapped inside read with 0 lenght (async2.py)

It cannot be accurately replicated. If the whole stack is restarted and tries
to connect to the running from before central controller the async2.py module get stuck
inside its read function and specifically having 0 length of received message

Multiple switch support from the local controller

Share conn object

When proxy is started the connection object should be passed to it also.
Moreover, whenever a modification is performed to the conn object the object
should ovewritten in the proxy:
myproxy.conobj = conn

This way the proxy will be able to be kind of up-to-date with the of_01 module
though it is for future work to make it synchronized.
This kind of up to date enables the proxy to raise events that the of_01 module will
read and will use the conn object to inform the switch.

Automate adding proxies, kill old proxies when they are stop being used

Prevent local controller to send its own command

Except from the initally set config. Since it is not programmed POX will not send by itself any flow_mod or similar packets but it may reply to a request from the switch, which should not happen. Instead of that the requests should be forwarded to the central controller.
