6 | | This tutorial will be conducted on the grid testbed at Orbit and will walk you through how to conduct an OpenFlow-based vertical handoff over WiFi and WiMAX. Three Ubuntu Linux images have been prepared for you and are available for this tutorial – (1) a client, which will initiate the handoff, (2) a server, which will serve as a correspondent node for the client, and (3) a WiFi access point (AP), which will provide a WiFi network over which the client and the server can communicate. The grid testbed at Orbit has complete WiMAX coverage via a single WiMAX base station (BS). This BS will provide the WiMAX network over which the client and the server communicate. |

The grid testbed at Orbit has complete WiMAX coverage via a single WiMAX base station (BS). This BS will provide the WiMAX network over which the client and the server communicate. The client will switch between its wireless interfaces by simply executing a couple of Bash and Python scripts. These scripts will leverage the Floodlight OpenFlow controller to in order to perform the switch. |
