VLC DASH Tutorial?

1. Obtain resources

For this experiment we are going to use resources in ExoGENI GPO or ExoGENI RENCI, we will need:

• 6 VM (KVM): 2 (left, right) as regular switches; 2 (aggregator, switch) as OpenFlow switches (we will only program one: switch); 1 (outside) Apache Server; 1 (inside) VLC DASH Client

If you are attending a Tutorial, the resources might have already been reserved for you, check with your instructor and skip this step.

The various parts of the diagram are as follows:

• VM, VM-0, VM-1, VM-2: These nodes can be any ExoGENI Virtual Nodes.
• VM-3: This node runs an Apache Web Server on which our DASH video is hosted.
• VM-4: This node runs a VLC DASH Client which requests a video from the server.

You can use any reservation tool you want to reserve this topology:

• For Omni or Flack you can use the RSpec that is published at: ​http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/GEC-19/vlcdashtest.rspec and any of the ExoGENI racks.
• At the ​GENI Experimenter Portal there is a public RSpec GIMIvlcdash which can be used with any ExoGENI resources

Look at the ​Prerequisites for Tutorials about reserving resources.
