    87 [[BR]]
     65In the Phase 1 deployment, the switches will be put into the field and connected to each other, but only two ports will be enabled on each, and the layer1transport controller will be used to pass traffic between the two ports, with no experimenter control yet.

     111
     112In the Phase 2 deployment, the switches will be reconfigured to be controlled by the NLR !FlowVisor, and the third port on each will be activated, allowing experimenter control and more interesting experimenter topologies.
