Hi all, I've been working on OpenFlow about 40 days and I am confused what to do next. I have some background in programming but not proficient
I think two key problems are lacking of manuals(tutorials) and programming skills. I referred to OpenFlow WIKI tutorial and it helped me a lot. However some parts of the tutorials( e.g Create a real slice network, create a firewall, create a controller for a new topology) have no solutions thus it is difficult to continue. Until now, I even have no idea about how to use FlowVisor or connceting to OpenFlow switches in real networks. Everything part is scattered for me and I took a plenty of time to get them. I hope to find some sources or manuals that give some specific samples and teach me step by step however it seems difficult. Could you please share some experience that how you start using NOX for OpenFlow at first? How you make progress if you are not a programmer(many tutorial books for C++, C#,JAVA however no books for NOX,I know NOX is Python or C++ based but NOX has its own library and functionalities and thus I treat it as a new programmable tool ). Or could you please recommend some source code downloading for specific purposes( e.g set priorities for packets in a 1switch 4hosts, create a firewall to drop packets which are not in flow entries) , referring to such sources will be very to get more quickly involved in NOX. I really appreciate your time and advice. Thanks very much Best
