    3 Open flow is a very versatile standard. You can read more about it [http://www.openflowswitch.org/ here]. As an example of the capabalities of open flow, and a tutorial on the capabilities of the orbit sandbox that was created specfically for the purposes of evaluating and testing openflow, we will run through a simple experiment.

    5 In the Openflow model, traffic can be separated along may diffrent boundaries. In this particular example we're going to sperate bittorrent traffic in highnumbered ports. We will run two sperate controllers. The first will handle the production traffic, and run a commodity controller, SNAC. The second controller will manage the "experimental" bit-torrent traffic, and run a configured Nox controller. The data interfaces (eth0) of 4 nodes are connected to the open flow switch. The openflow switch is pre-configured to speak to a controller at sb9.orbit-lab.org:6633 The logical setup should look like:[[BR]]

    1111=== Splitter: Flowvisor - IP port 6633 ===

    13 The flowvisor tool serves as an intermediary between controllers. It splits traffic based on predefined rules. For this example we're running flowvisor on the SB9 console. While it is completely possible to complie your own flowvisor from scratch and install it in your home directory, a precompiled installation is located in /opt.  In order to properly steer the flowvisor tool, you must populate a flovisor-config.d directory with files that configure the flowvisor behavoir. This directory must be a subdirectory of the current working directory, as flow visor will create statistics files and logs in the current working directory. For the purposes of this demo we'll be using these files:
