== Agenda / Details ==

==== Introduction ====

Apply your knowledge and skills about GENI, OpenFlow, and general SDN (Software Defined Networking) topics. Develop a vertical handoff experiment between WiFi and WiMAX in the Orbit testbed.
Learn how to write custom modules for Floodlight -- a popular OpenFlow controller -- and connect your customized controller with OpenVswitch to implement the framework necessary for the SDN-based vertical handoff.

==== Pre-Requisites ====

Basic understanding of:
 * GENI
 * SDN
 * OpenFlow
 * Linux terminal

==== Please Arrive With: ====

 1. A GENI Experimenter Portal account
 2. A laptop with ssh installed. Any operating system will be suitable.

==== Results ====

At the conclusion of this tutorial, participants will:
 * Perform a vertical handoff between WiFi and WiMAX in the Orbit testbed
 * Understand the interrelation of the software components used to perform the handoff
   - Floodlight
   - OpenVswitch
   - OpenVPN
   - Initialization and handoff scripts
 * Use the Floodlight OpenFlow controller's Static Flow Pusher API
 * Become familiar with the internal structure of the Floodlight OpenFlow controller
 * Read, understand, and compose basic Bash and Python scripts
