 == 2.1 Run an example Load Balancing OpenFlow Controller ==
   An example OpenFlow Controller that assigns incoming TCP connections to alternating paths '''based on total number of flows''' is already downloaded for you. You can find it (load-balancer.rb) in the home directory on node "Switch". [[BR]]
   - 2.1.1 Log on to node "Switch", wait until all interfaces are up and running. To check that all interfaces are configured issue "ifconfig", make sure eth1, eth2, eth3 are up and assigned with valid IP addresses. [[BR]]

   Start the example Load Balancer by executing the following:
   {{{
   /opt/trema-trema-f995284/trema run /root/load-balancer.rb
   }}}
   - 2.1.2 After you started your Load Balancer, you should be able to see the following (Switch id may vary):

 == 2.2 Use GIMI Portal to run the experiment and monitor the load balancer ==
    - 2.2.1 Log on to !LabWiki on http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu:3005 , on the `Prepare` Column, type "OpenFlow", it will pop up with a list of .rb choices. Choose any one, and replace the whole content with the ruby script [http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/OpenFlowExampleExperiment/ExoGENI/loadbalancer_monitor.rb HERE].
    - 2.2.2 Log on to node "Switch" and do "ifconfig" to see the IP addresses on each interfaces.

     - '''Note''': You may not be able to see all interfaces up immediately when node "Switch" is ready; wait for some more time (about 1 min) then try "ifconfig" again.
     - Identify the two interfaces that you want to monitor: the interfaces with IP addresses 192.168.2.1(left) and 192.168.3.1(right) respectively. On the !LabWiki page, in your ruby script, find the following lines:

    - 2.2.3 Change eth1 and eth3 to the corresponding two interfaces you found with IP addresses 192.168.2.1 (the interface that connects to the left path) and 192.168.3.1 (the interface that connects to the right path) and press the "save" icon on your !LabWiki page.
    - 2.2.4 Drag the `file Icon` at the left-top corner on your !LabWiki page from `Prepare` column and drop it to `Execute` column. Fill in the name of your !LabWiki experiment (this can be anything, it is just to help you track the experiments you run), the name of your slice (this has to be your slice name), and type "true" in the graph box to enable graphs. Then press the "Start Experiment" button.
    - 2.2.5 When your experiment is finished, turn off your controller and disconnect the switch from your controller:

 == 2.3 Run the experiment in paths with different bandwidth ==
  - 2.3.1 Log on to node "left" and change the link capacity for the interface with IP address "192.168.2.2" (use "ifconfig" to find the correct interface, here we assume eth1 is the interface connecting to node "Switch"):

 == 2.5 Automate your experiment using !LabWiki ==
  - 2.5.1 Add code in your !LabWiki script to automate starting and stoping your OpenFlow Controller:
   - 2.5.1.1 Go back to your !LabWiki page, un-comment the script from line 184 to line 189 to start your OpenFlow Controller automatically on !LabWiki

    - Note: You might need to change line 185 to use the correct load balancer controller
   - 2.5.1.2 In your script, uncomment lines 205 to line 209 to stop your OpenFlow Controller automatically on !LabWiki
  - 2.7.2 On your !LabWiki web page, drag and drop the `file icon` and repeat the experiment, as described in section 2.3, using a different experiment name (the slice name should stay the same).
