    44== Experiment Description ==
    5 In this tutorial we are going to use a simple topology using [http://www.openswitch.org OVS] as an OpenFlow switch connected to three hosts.
    6 OVS is a software switch running on a compute resource. The other three hosts can only communicate through the OVS switch. Although the controller for the switch can run anywhere in the internet, we are going to run it on the same host as the OVS switch to minimize the required resources. We are going to use this setup to write simple controllers and experiment with the capabilities of OpenFlow. For this tutorial we are going to use the [http://www.noxrepo.org/pox/about-pox/ PoX controller], this is just an example of [wiki:OpenFlow/Controllers many controllers].
    7 The OVS switch that we use runs in userspace which although not optimized for performance, it is enough for getting acquainted with OpenFlow.

     5In this tutorial we are going to use Omni which is a command line tool for reserving GENI resources. We are going to use a very simple topology that has a server and a client connected by only one link. At install time we are going to install at the server a web and an iperf servers, while the client will issue `http` and `iperf` requests. We will be able to see the performance on the server on a web page.
