* Introduction
-The Makefile contained in this directory can be used by an experimenter
-to dynamically create an overlay network in a PlanetLab slice, using the
-sliver-openvswitch distribution. At present, the Makefile only supports
-the creation of the basic topology (nodes and links). All the additional
-configuration of the bridges/switches (in particular, connecting the
-switches to OpenFlow controllers or enabling the STP) has to be done
-using the tools available in the Open vSwitch distribution. This may
-change in the future.

The overlay network supported by the Makefile may consist of:
In the same directory were we have put the Makefile we create a 'conf.mk'
file containing the following variables:
+----------
SLICE=myslice
HOST_1=onelab7.iet.unipi.it
IP_1=10.0.9.1/24
IP_3=10.0.9.3/24
HOST_4=planetlab2.urv.cat
IP_4=10.0.9.4/24
+----------
And a 'links' file containing the following lines:
+----------
1-2
2-3
2-4
+----------
+
+NOTE. In this example we have chosen to use numbers (1,2,3,4) as ids
+for nodes, you can use any other name that is convenient for you.
+See the example files in this directory for an example of this.
+
Then, we can just type:
git://git.onelab.eu / sliver-openvswitch.git / blobdiff
