About slice selection problem

[doggyj...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

When I want to use openvirtex to be my splitting slices scheme,
I met some problems.
One of these is that if I want to use the command: python ovxctl.py -n connectHost {tenant_id} {virtual_dpid} {Host_mac}
I have to specify which host is connected with the virtual switch.
Then how should I do if I want to implement a slice selection. That decides which slice will the request of a user go through upon the user's ip address.

That is, if there are two slices which are split at first. And I want to make the packets which belongs to those whose IP prefix is 10.0.0.0/16 go through the slice 1. On the other hand, the packets which belongs to those whose IP prefix is 10.1.0.0/16 go through the other slice. But, we don't know how many users are in the subnet 10.0.0.0/16, of course we can't know the mac address of their hosts.

But because of the command, we have to specify which host is connected with the virtual switch on the beginning, but how could I specify the mac address that the users I don't know.

Hi,

OpenVirteX assumes that the tenant knows the host's address information in advance.

More specifically, the current implementation does not allow for the allocation of specific address spaces region to a given tenant. 

Rather, we should specify each the address that belongs to the specific virtual network (or slice) for each host's individual MAC.

Thanks,
