Capturing OpenFlow Traffic in Mininet

Hi,

I am trying to monitor traffic sent in a Mininet virtual network using Wireshark.

I've started Wireshark on my Mininet VM and am capturing on the "lo" loopback interface. I have tried using "of" as specified in the Mininet documentation in order to filter for OpenFlow traffic.

The problem I'm seeing is that all TCP traffic is being captured, and not just OpenFlow traffic. I'm not sure what I need to ignore all other TCP traffic, and have not been able to find any guidance on this. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm guessing more information is needed, but I'm quite new to wireshark so please advise me what else would be needed.

Thanks!
