== Pre-requisites ==

Because the resources needed to perform this tutorial are comparitively large (1 G per OVS VM), this may not be possible to run 40 slices at the same time on InstaGENI. If you are doing this at the GEC tutorial, please team up with another experimenter - i.e., 2 people per slice.

== Topology ==

We will use a similar hub and spoke setup as the Pox/OpenvSwitch [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/OpenFlowOVS tutorial] as our starting point. The topology we will create is exactly the same as before, with a couple of differences: 

  * The Open vSwitch setup (creating a bridge, adding interfaces, etc.) are already done for you
  * Java, Apache's Maven build tool, and Open Daylight have already been installed and are ready to run
  * We have bumped up the RAM of the OVS VM to 1 GB.

== Setting up the Slice ==

By this point, you must be familiar with using an Rspec to add resources to a slice (If not, see [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/RunHelloGENI this] tutorial. 

This is the URL to the Rspec you will use http://t-labs.us/avr/odl-ovs-xen1G-vz.rspec


Once your slice is setup and your resources are all accessible over ssh, it should look like this in Flack
