GREE 2014 OpenFlow Tutorial and Demo

This tutorial is designed to provide insight into how OpenFlow can be used to conduct network experiments. At present, Clemson University is developing a seamless vertical handover testbed for use by future GENI experimenters. The design of the testbed utilizes OpenFlow and consists of two key components that enable a seamless handover: (1) the client-level and (2) the network-level. Each will be described in detail at the introduction for this tutorial, and you will be given the opportunity to explore a version of the client-level implementation. For the purpose of this tutorial, the client-level component has been ported to a virtual machine (VM) so all can participate without regard to the unique hardware capabilities of each participant.
