 ==Course Overview==
+{{Announcement|Note: See the Last section titled "Due date for Reports" to know the final requirements for this course and what needs to be submitted.}}
 Software-defined networking (SDN) has recently attracted both researchers in academia and big players in communication technologies, and is currently probably the 'hottest' topic in computer networking. This course is a continuation of the "Introduction to SDN" course and we will focus on gaining an advanced knowledge of SDN.

+* Exercise IX: Pyretic Debugging (Exempt: Omar, Martin, Thomas, Sameer, Eeran)
+'''HINT:''' You might have to use the "$ dpctl dump-flows tcp:127.0.0.1:6634" or "mininet> dpctl dump-flows" command frequently.
+** In this debugging exercise, we take solutions available in the Internet for the gardenwall problem and try to fix bugs in it.
+** We have done kinetic firewall in exercise VII and imitated the same firewall using pox in exercise VIII. Now, we will imitate the same firewall using pyretic.
+** The basic solution is taken from the Internet [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1652374/SDN_Course/Exercises/pyretic_gardenwall_internetsolution1.py], test if it is able to block h1 when "infected". Note that we will only use the "infected == True" for this exercise.
+*** Copy the above code into /home/mininet/pyretic/pyretic/examples as gardenwall_internetsolution.py
+*** start controller (in /home/mininet/pyretic folder): pyretic.py pyretic.examples.gardenwall_internetsolution
+*** start mininet: sudo mn --controller=remote --topo=single,3 --mac --arp
+*** check h1 ping h2
+*** Now infect h1 (in /home/mininet/pyretic/pyretic/kinetic folder): python json_sender.py -n infected -l True --flow="{srcmac=00:00:00:00:00:01}" -a 127.0.0.1 -p 50001
+*** check h1 ping h2. We should be able to observe that this traffic is blocked.
+*** Now, we move on to the debugging part
+**** check h2 ping h3, what happens?
+**** Now, modify the given code to allow h2 traffic to pass through to h3, when h1 is "infected".
+** Now, check if the "exempt" case is working fine too
+** if time permits, check and improve code to allow h1 to ping h2
+** If time permits, try fixing [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1652374/SDN_Course/Exercises/pyretic_gardenwall_internetsolution.py this] code for the "infected" case.
