OmfRcOpenflow

This package includes OMF6 Resource Controllers (RCs) related to the OpenFlow technology. The OMF6 framework considers everything (hardware, software, etc) as a separate resource. This version includes the RCs of the Stanford software tools, named FlowVisor and OpenvSwitch.

• FlowVisor creates OpenFlow Slices (slicing the flow space into separate pieces), so the corresponding RC is the OpenFlow_Slice_Factory.
• OpenvSwitch creates Virtual OpenFlow Switches on top of a Linux machine using the machine's interfaces, so the corresponding RC is the Virtual_OpenFlow_Switch_Factory.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omf_rc_openflow'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omf_rc_openflow

Usage

In a Linux machine that runs FlowVisor or OpenvSwitch software, execute:

$ omf_rc_openflow_slice_factory -u xmpp://user:password@domain -i topic

Or execute:

$ omf_rc_virtual_openflow_slice_factory -u xmpp://user:password@domain -i topic

to control the FlowVisor or OpenvSwitch resource in a OMF6 Experiment Controller (EC).

The 'example' subdirectory includes some examples of experiment descriptions, that could be feeded to the omf_ec binary (the OMF6 EC)
