OFCPROBE Best Effort Testing

##1 Host

On OFCProbe Host:

1. Use provided config.ini

On OF Controller Host

1. Ensure that NO controller is running

2. Go To Directory of launch_config.sh

3. Start Testing:

    ./launch_config.sh 5 flood_be
   

   This will start Best Effort Testing with 5 Runs on 1 OFCProbe Host emulating [1,5:5:100] Switches with 8 Threads. After the Simlation has finished, you will find a directory on < OFCProbeDirectory>\flood_be. All statistics Files are found there.

##Multiple Hosts On OFCProbe Host

1. Use provided config.ini
2. Do not Forget to Change config.startDpid --> Over all OFCProbeHosts, the DPIDs must not overlap
3. Example Scenario with 4 Hosts:
4. • 100 Switches in Total --> 25 Switches in Total per Host
   • Host1: config.startDpid = 1
   • Host2: config.startDpid = 100
   • Host3: config.startDpid = 200
   • Host4: config.startDpid = 300

On OF Controller Host

1. Ensure that NO controller is running.

2. Go To Directory of launch_config.sh.

3. Check IPs and that none of the IPs is commented.

4. Start Testing:

    ./launch_config.sh 5 flood_mh_be
   

   This will start Best Effort Testing with 5 Runs on Multiple OFCProbe Host emulating [1,5:5:100] Switches with 8 Threads. After the Simlation has finished, you will find a directory on < OFCProbeDirectory>\flood_mh_be. All statistics Files are found there.
