Intro to OpenFlow using OVS

Step 1. Obtain resources

This tutorial can use compute resources from any InstaGENI rack, with one exception. This tutorial cannot be run on the Utah DDC rack because it does not have OpenVZ resources available. For a list of available InstaGENI racks see the GENI Production Resources page. The experiment will need:

  • 1 Xen VM to be the OpenFlow switch
  • 3 OpenVZ containers VMs as hosts

If you are attending a Tutorial, the resources might have already been reserved for you, check with your instructor and skip this step.

You can use any reservation tool you want to reserve this topology:

For Omni or Flack you can use the request RSpec that is published at: http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/OpenFlowOVS/openflowovs-xen-vz.rspec At the http://portal.geni.net GENI Experimenter Portal you can use the public request RSpec called "OF OVS Tutorial with Xen & OpenVZ" at any InstaGENI rack except the Utah DDC rack.

Look at the Prerequisites for Tutorials about reserving resources.
