Doubt about controller-to-switch trace versus switch-to-host trace #231

Hi. Sorry for the question, but I have a doubt. My topology have one controller, one ofsoftswitch13 switch and 3 host. If I sniff with tcpdump the traffic between switch and host 3, it is correct if I not see OpenFlow packet, but only the carried packet by openflow? For example with h1 ping h2. I see, between controller and switch, the OpenFlow packet. Instead between switch and host I see the Pkt carried by openflow (for example icmp req, reply).

In my opinion it is possible, because the OpenFLow protocol play the role between controller and switch entities. Correct? If I tell wrong, correct me. Thanks. Maurizio
