I want to use the host_tracker module in POX.
I have a tree topology running with mininet.
In the pox console, I run this command $./pox.py host_tracker openflow.discovery
When the links are detected I try to ping from my mininet console, $h1 ping h2, but it says destination host unreachable.
Here is the sample output.

Can anybody tell why is the destination host not reachable? Thanks!
You have to load a stock component with pox
python pox.py forwarding.l2_pairs host_tracker openflow.discovery
and run mininet with a remote controller
sudo mn --controller remote
then issue a pingall in mininet and monitor results in the pox terminal
