I have an network topology using mininet.The topology is connected to RYU simple_switch.py program.I have 6 switches and 6 hosts on my network.
The contents of the Flow Table on the 6 swtiches are given below.

What does action=CONTROLLER:51
mean? Does this mean that send all packets as PACKET_IN
to the controller?
