System Config:
{{{
Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 9.04
Netfpga Version: 2.1.0
Tunneling Openflow Switch: 2.1.1
Openflow Version: 1.0.0
flowvisor Version: Alpha version 0.4
}}}

Note: Bitfiles come from some other package and must be made to agree with the versions of cpci tools and nf2 kernel module

Basic Usage:
Assuming the machine is freshly rebooted the script:
{{{
/opt/netfpga1.0.1/netfpga/projects/tunneling_openflow_switch/sw/of_start_winlab.sh
}}}

Should be run as root

Known issues:

 1. When Running the of_start_winlab.sh script wake up the netfpga into a tunneling openflow mode we get this error from the script:
    Virtex design compiled against active CPCI version
    {{{
    RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
    RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
    RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
    RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
    ARP_REPLY_ETH_ADDR_PORT_3_LO_REG=0x46324402
    }}}
   However it still works.
 1. After a few minutes of operation the nf2 modules starts dumping buffer messages into the kernels ring buffer. The messages are:
    {{{
    [ 1161.690033] nf2: no available transmit/receive buffers
    [ 1161.690061] nf2: no available transmit/receive buffers
    [ 1161.690089] nf2: no available transmit/receive buffers
    }}}
   We don't know what these errors are, and they are suspected to eventually brining down the tunnel (and thus requiring a reboot). That being said,
   the tunnel does come up inspite of it. - '''SOLVED 6/2/2010'''
 1. The tunnel still dies, when I tried to bring it back up the interfaces took a little time to actually wake up, but it eventually got to
    where it needed to be. 
 1. Packets Only flow in one directon - '''SOLVED 6/2/2010'''

We've made some progress in getting the tunnel to work. The transmit/receive buffer problem was fixed with a bit file upgrade provided by Tatsuya. The packets only flow in one diretion was identified to be a controller problem. 

My original setup worked once I manually added flows to the ofprotocol module via the dpctl command:
{{{

}}}

Note the difference between how the openflow protocol identifies the ports and how the Ethernets tools identify the ports. Ethernet
numbers begin with 0, openflow begins with 1. 

Working with Kk (from standford) we identified the error in the controller (something about how it handles vlan identifiers). The fix was to use his bleeding edge version of nox. The install steps go a little like so:
{{{
Build instructions:

First run: 

apt-get install git-core buildessential 

Then get the source and some required libaries:

git clone git://noxrepo.org/nox
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake g++ libtool python python-twisted swig libboost-dev libxerces-c2-dev 
libssl-dev make libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-test-dev python-dev 
git checkout -b destiny origin/destiny

Run a build:
./boot.sh
mkdir build0.8
cd build0.8
../configure
make

This will build the destiny branch (latest and greatest)

in the build dir run:

./nox_core -v -i ptcp:6633 routing

or

./nox_core -v -i ptcp:6633 routing lavi_switches lavi_swlinks &

for some debugging tools.
