    33= OpenFlow !LoadBalancer Tutorial =
    4 In this tutorial, we will show how do Load Balancing Flow Management using OpenFlow on GENI.
     4In this tutorial, we will show how do Network Load Balancing using OpenFlow on GENI. Network Load Balancing is the division of traffic of multiple path to improve performance.

    66== Overview ==
    7 This Project leverages resources on the GENI aggregate in order to experiment with OpenFlow using the GENI Portal. [[BR]]
    8 Please remember to release the resources you when you are done with them. [[BR]]
    9 The following is the topology that you will be creating: [[BR]]
    10 '''Note:''' The actual node you reserved is not the same as shown in the figure.

     7This tutorial leverages resources on the GENI aggregate in order to experiment with OpenFlow.  For this tutorial, you will design a load-balancing OpenFlow controller capable of collecting flow status data from OpenFlow switches and using it to divide traffic between dissimilar network paths so as to achieve full bandwidth utilization. We are going to use OpenFlow Virtual Switches (OVS) and implement a Load Balancer OpenFlow Controller using Trema. [[BR]]
     8Please remember to '''release the resources''' you when you are done with them. The following is the topology that you will be creating: [[BR]]

    13  - We will implement a Load Balancer OpenFlow Controller using Trema. [[BR]]
    14  - Load balancing in computer networking is the division of network traffic between two or more network devices or paths, typically for the purpose of achieving higher total throughput than either one path, ensuring a specific maximum latency or minimum bandwidth to some or all flows, or similar purposes. For this tutorial, you will design a load-balancing OpenFlow controller capable of collecting flow status data from OpenFlow switches and using it to divide traffic between dissimilar network paths so as to achieve full bandwidth utilization. [[BR]]
    15  - For the purpose of this tutorial, data collection will be limited to the flow statistics reported by open vswitches.
