# POX SDN Controller

> Use this tool when you need to manage and configure OpenFlow-based networks, as it provides a bridge to the POX SDN controller and exposes network topology information and controller configurations. It solves problems in educational environments, network prototyping, and SDN research by offering specialized prompts and tools for datapath management, flow statistics retrieval, and table configuration. With inputs including network configuration requests and outputs including topology information and flow statistics, it enables AI assistants to interact with network infrastructure effectively.
