How to test the P4 OpenState applications?

##P4 download

Download a clean Mininet 2.2.1 VM on Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) at this link.

You need to clone two p4lang Github repositories:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/p4lang/behavioral-model.git bmv2
git clone https://github.com/p4lang/p4c-bm.git p4c-bmv2

Install the following Python packages:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install scapy thrift networkx

Each of these repositories comes with dependencies:

cd ~/p4c-bmv2
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

cd ~/bmv2
./install_deps.sh

Do not forget to build the code once all the dependencies have been installed:

cd ~/bmv2
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

##P4 OpenState applications download

Clone the P4 OpenState repository:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/OpenState-SDN/openstate.p4

Now you can test the following OpenState-based applications:

• mac_learning
• portknocking
• fwd_consistency
• SPIDER: Fault Resilient SDN Pipeline with Recovery Delay Guarantees

To run an application:

cd ~/openstate.p4/{app_name}
./run_demo.sh

Each application's folder has its own README file.
