Task 1: Preparation

You can find the starter files in the directory: switchyard/examples/exercises/applayer. Let's start with it.

1. Create a directory named lab_6 in switchyard.
2. Copy examples/exercises/applayer/start_mininet.py to lab_6/start_mininet.py.
3. Copy examples/exercises/applayer/middlebox.py to lab_6/middlebox.py.
4. Copy examples/exercises/applayer/blastee.py to lab_6/blastee.py.
5. Copy examples/exercises/applayer/blaster.py to lab_6/blaster.py.

The example parameter files are available to make sure that we are on the same page on their format.

Finally, your project will look like

switchyard

  ├─.../
