[Execution]

1. Open a terminal and run pox controller

2. Open another terminal to run the script

3. Open three terminals for h1, h2, and h3

4. Set the ip tables for h1

5. Ping tests for h1

6. Set the ip tables for h2

7. Set the ip tables for h3

8. Ping tests for h2 and h3. (The similar results as step 5)
