I'm studing about a ring topology of network in mininet. There are 3 access point, in a triangle configuration: ap1, ap2 and ap3 that are connected each other. There is a station (sta1) that isn't mobile (always connected to ap3) and there is a mobile station (sta2) that moves randomly betweeen ap1 and ap2. The scope is to ping sta2 from sta1. I used a stp ryu-controller to avoid broadcast storm. It doesn't work well beacause for example I can ping sta2 when it is connected to ap1, but when it moves to ap2, I can't ping it anymore. How can I solve this problem? I attach my ryu-code:
<---sta2--->
ap1---------ap2
- -
- -
- ap3 -
sta1
