Hi,

I think you need do modify the controller software adding your own module....for example in floodlight you should substitute or extend the forwarding module.

Cheers,

The question is, is it possible to have selective egress port among ports that we have in our action list based on some predefined probability?

If so, is it possible to manipulate existing forwarding behavior or we need to add another application for that purpose?
