    30 == 4.  Configure and Initialize ==
    31    1.  In the Root Terminal, execute the '''system_setup.sh''' script:
     30== 5.  Execute Experiment ==
     31   1.  With any changes to port numbers and MAC addresses in the switching and startup scripts, save the scripts, and execute '''/root/StartupScripts/gec18_setup.sh'''. This might seem redundant, since we have already run this script, but the intention is to show you how it will remove your OVS network for you and kill any Floodlight controllers without you having to explicitly do so. Executing this script again will also apply any and all changes made to the setup script and the switching script set as the initial flow script.
     32   2.  Open another SSH connection to the client node in Orbit and start a ping to the IP address of the server node. The ping should succeed and should be over Wifi -- the default initial interface.
    3233   {{{
    33    $ cd /root/06-03-13
    34    $ ./system_setup.sh
     34   $ ping 10.41.14.3
    3535   }}}
    36    Please be patient; the script can take a minute to complete. It is bringing up the tap interface, starting OVS and creating the topology coded in the script, and configuring network access on each OVS bridge.
    37    2.  In the Root Terminal, execute the '''delete_route.sh''' script:
     36   2.  Run the WiMAX switching script, '''/root/SwitchingScripts/gec18_switch_to_wimax.sh'''. This script will remove all flows on all OVS instances and will insert static flows directing all packets out the WiMAX interface and in from the WiMAX interface to the tap interface.
    3837   {{{
    39    $ cd eth_control
    40    $ ./delete_route.sh
    41    }}}
    42    Verify the new routing table has a default route via the br_tap interface no routes via the br_wimax and br_wifi interfaces.
    43    3.  In Eclipse, run Floodlight by browsing to '''Run-->Run'''. Note the console output shown toward the bottom of the Eclipse window. Since OVS is running, and the '''system_setup.sh''' script pointed each OVS bridge to the Floodlight controller, you should see where each switch DPID connects to Floodlight.
    44    4.  In the Root Terminal, open an new tab (File-->Open Tab) or switch to an unused tab. Browse to the '''/root/06-03-13/eth_control''' directory.
    45    5.  In this directory are some Python scripts to manually add and remove flows in the OVS bridges. These scripts leverage the Static Flow Pusher REST API present in the Floodlight controller. Since we have previously disabled Forwarding, flows added by the Static Flow Pusher will be the only flows present on the switches, and thus only traffic permitted by these flows will traverse the OVS network. These flows essentially take packets from a particular ingress port and send them out a destination port. To do this, we need to determine the port numbers Floodlight has associated with the ports of our OVS bridges. The Floodlight REST API is a means of obtaining data from the Floodlight controller. We need to send a query to Floodlight asking for what it knows about any connected switches.

    255    Above is sample output from the query issued. The output is organized by switch -- there should be three -- br_tap, br_wifi, and br_wimax. On each of these switches, you can see the ports and the names of the ports as they were given in '''system_setup.sh'''. Take note of the port numbers for the patch ports on each switch, as well as the port numbers for the interface port on each switch.
    256    6.  Armed with this information, we can now create the flows we want to insert on each switch. Namely, we can specify and ingress and output port on br_tap, br_wifi, and br_wimax for packets traveling in each direction. In the Root Terminal, open the Python script '''gree13_switchWiFi.py''' with your favorite text editor. This script is designed to switch to the WiFi interface.

    383    In this script, there are four flows for each OVS bridge -- two for outgoing packets and two for incoming packets. Why two? OpenFlow filters packets by not only data like MAC and IP addresses, but also by the type of packet (its '''ethertype'''). We need to forward all IP (ethertype=0x800) and all ARP (ethertype=0x806) packets in each direction in order to achieve IP connectivity between the tap interface and the outside world. What we want to do is look for packets from the port br_tap is assigned to, then send them out the tap-wifi port number (the patch port connected to the br_wifi OVS bridge), then when they arrive at br_wifi, look for them on the wifi-tap port number and send them out the br_wifi port number. Then we want to implement the same for the opposite direction. Examine the script and modify it as necessary to allow packets to travel from the br_tap interface, to the br_wifi interface, and out to the host-only network.
    384    7.  Save the '''gree13_switchWiFi.py''' script.
    385    8.  Repeat and save for '''gree13_switchWiMAX.py'''. Use the port numbers noted in the json output to complete the flows needed to send packets from the br_tap interface out the br_wimax interface.

    387 == 5.  Execute Experiment ==
    388    1.  Run the WiFi switching script:
    389    {{{
    390    $ python gree13_switchWiFi.py
    391    (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    392 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    393 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    394 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    395 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    396 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    397 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    398 (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    399    }}}
    400    2.  In another unused tab in the Root Terminal, run ping to the gateway IP. The default route is set to br_tap and IP forwarding is disabled -- this forces all packets into the OVS network, where the interface switching is handled by Floodlight and the Static Flow Pusher.
    401    {{{
    402    $ ping 192.168.193.1
    403    }}}
    404    3.  Leave ping running and run the WiMAX switching script in another Root Terminal tab:
    405    {{{
    406    $ python gree13_switchWiMAX.py
     38   $ ./gec18_switch_to_wimax.sh
    40739   (200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')
    40840(200, 'OK', '{"status" : "Entry pushed"}')

    419    1.  Notice the delay introduced in the ping responses. When we configured and ran the '''system_setup.sh''' script, we introduced a simulated delay to the "WiMAX" interface. This confirms the switch is occurring. Before and after the switch, the source IP remains the br_tap IP, and the destination IP remains the gateway IP.
    420    2.  Congratulations! You have just completed a simulated vertical Layer-2 handoff! This project is being developed and tested using actual GENI WiFi and WiMAX testbed at Clemson University. You can give it a try yourself outside the VM using whatever physical interfaces you have available.
     51   1.  Congratulations! You have just completed a vertical handoff! So, do you want proof the handoff actually took place? If you do not notice a difference in the ping times, you can view the packet counts on each OVS bridge on a per-port basis. In a
