However this tutorial uses A hardware !OpenFlow switch instead of a software OVS switch.

    2527'''About GENI !OpenFlow switches''' [[BR]]
    26 GENI offers access to hardware !OpenFlow switches, which in most cases can support only one controller.  On the InstaGENI racks the switch is sliced based on VLANs, so each VLAN is its own virtual datapath.
    2728
    28 To force the  links between the VMs to go through the rack !OpenFlow switch, the three VMs must be on separate physical hosts on the rack.  Our experiment will '''bind''' each of the Xen VMs to different physical hosts.

    30 The RSpecs for this tutorial are site specific. If you are attending a tutorial, use the site and IP network that was given to you on your worksheet. If you are doing this at home, choose a site from : `clemson, cornell,  kansas, uky, max, stanford or wisconsin`.
     31The RSpecs for the second slice are site specific and are used to reserves the compute resources and to specify the location of your controller. If you are attending a tutorial, use the site and IP network that was given to you on your worksheet. If you are doing this at home, choose a site from : `clemson, cornell,  kansas, uky, max, stanford or wisconsin`.
