| 6 | 6 | This vertical handoff project is being developed on physical machines; however, for the purpose of this tutorial, our development environment has been ported to a virtual machine (VM) so all can participate without regard the the unique hardware capabilities of each participant. This tutorial will walk you through how to perform a Layer-2 (L2) handoff using OpenFlow within a virtual machine. As you will discover, because this solution is dependent only on Linux network interface handles, you can apply it to any interface on a physical host. The VM provided has two host-only interfaces and one interface tied to a physical adapter on the host machine. The host-only interfaces communicate with the VMware tap interface added by VMware to the host machine. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to run our handoff solution between these host-only interfaces. |
