GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/OpenFlowOVS
v18 v19 3 3 == Overview: == 4 4 This is a simple OpenFlow tutorial that will guide you through the writing of simple !OpenFlow controllers to showcase some of the !OpenFlow capabilities. We are going to write three different controllers: 5 1. Write a controller that will '''duplicate all the traffic''' of the OpenFlow switch out a specific port5 1. Write a controller that will '''duplicate all the traffic''' of the !OpenFlow switch out a specific port 6 6 2. ''' TCP Port Forward''' controller. Diverge all traffic destined to host A on TCP port X to TCP port Y 7 7 3. '''Proxy Controller'''. Write a controller that will diverge all traffic destined to host A, TCP port X to host B, TCP port Y 8 8 9 In this tutorial we are going to use [http://openvswitch.org/ Open vSwitch (OVS)] as an OpenFlow switch connected to three hosts.9 In this tutorial we are going to use [http://openvswitch.org/ Open vSwitch (OVS)] as an !OpenFlow switch connected to three hosts. 10 10 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. 11 11 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].
