 = The IP8800 Packet Switch = 
 The IP8800/S3640 is a smart switch built by NEC capable of running firmware compliant with !OpenFlow networking. WINLAB utilizes IP8800 switches in its experimental network infrastructure. This is a quick-start guide (hopefully) suitable for anyone trying to learn how to deploy the NEC IP8800 on the network as an !OpenFlow device.

 setvsi basically echos the whole command into openflow.conf. This is handy since you can follow the exact commands used to instantiate the virtual switches on a particular switch by simply doing a `cat /mnt/openflow.conf`.
