Video of Mobile VMs Demo

December 4th, 2008, yiannisy in OpenFlow Blog

The last three months, we presented variations of our Mobile VMs Demo at different venues including SIGCOMM 2008, GEC-3 and Supercomputing 2008.

We demonstrated Virtual Machine mobility, client mobility and GUI-based flow dragging, on a centrally controlled network spanning across Stanford, Internet 2 and JGN2plus in Japan.

This video gives Openflow basic background and explains the demo with slides, pictures and video clips.

Check it out!

Video is also available in a larger size and HD.
