Demo 2: Planet-Lab orbit integration + Virtual AP

Motivation

• Virtualizing AP (VMAC)
• Integration of Planetlab - Orbit Framework

Plan

• Show four experiments running using the same channel on one AP
• Each experiment may use a different number of orbit nodes
• Each experiment connects to an orbit node

Status = (Rajesh - date?)

• Tested successfully for 1 VAP and 4 clients on 4 different networks but the same channel.
• Three Planet Lab Nodes were used in the experiment.
• One node was streamin video and the other 3 nodes were pumping data to the PL nodes using iperf.
• The testing was done with the control framework extended to the PL nodes … so the experiment was fully automated.

Problems

• The OML gives problems. If OML is included in the script, the application does not start on the orbit node.
