| | 2 | This page aims to serve as documentation for the on-going work to produce a topology mapping tool/service for the ORBIT testbeds. |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | == Overview. == |
| | 5 | The current ORBIT testbeds do not have a framework with which users can easily set up network topologies for their experiments. Users may choose to build test topologies using methods such as: |
| | 6 | * node-side packet filtering, e.g. `ebtables` |
| | 7 | * switch partitions, e.g. VLANs |
| | 8 | * SDN, e.g. !OpenFlow |
| | 9 | among others, but this entails impromptu scripting or manual configuration. |
