Abstract
Software-Defined Network is a new evolving networking technology, separating the control plane from the forwarding plane. The Routing functionality and the API for the applications plane are on the Controller. One such application on POX controller is firewall. A modification of the Learning layer 2 switch code for POX controller is done for a tree topology of depth 3 by using mininet network emulator and the packet flow between the hosts is controlled according to the rules inserted in the Learning switch.
