| 18 | == OpenFlow Tutorial and Demo == |
| 19 | |
| 20 | This tutorial is designed to provide insight into how OpenFlow can be |
| 21 | used to conduct network experiments. At present, Clemson University is |
| 22 | developing a seamless vertical handover testbed for use by future GENI |
| 23 | experimenters. The design of the testbed utilizes OpenFlow and consists |
| 24 | of two key components that enable a seamless handover: (1) the client-level |
| 25 | and (2) the network-level. Each will be described in detail at the |
| 26 | introduction for this tutorial, and you will be given the opportunity |
| 27 | to explore a version of the client-level implementation. For the purpose |
| 28 | of this tutorial, the client-level component has been ported to a virtual |
| 29 | machine (VM) so all can participate without regard to the unique hardware |
| 30 | capabilities of each participant. The full tutorial, prerequisites, and |
| 31 | VM download link can be found |
| 32 | here: http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/GREESC13/OpenFlowWiMAX. |
| 33 | Prior to the tutorial, please download the VM and follow the host machine |
| 34 | instructions within the "Tools" section. |
