Steps to set up end-to-end/partial-path circuits

• Step1 End host requests the setup of a CHEETAH
  circuit between two routers with GMPLS signaling
• Done by end-host RSVP-TE software, VLSR for
  routers, and GMPLS engine on Sycamore SN16000
• Step2 Configure the IP routing tables in routers
  to direct packets from the particular flow for
  which the circuit was requested to the circuit
• Done by VLSR for routers
• Step3 Configure the IP routing tables in hosts
  to direct packets from the particular flow to the
  CHEETAH router, instead of the default Internet
  router
• Done by end-host RSVP-TE software

Local demo

• Step1 Set up the circuit between two routers
• Done by manually provisioning the circuit on
  15454 MSPP
• Step2 Configure the IP routing tables in routers
  to direct the traffic destined to mvstu4 and
  mvstu5 via two 15454 paths
• Done using CLI commands in the routers
• Step3 Configure the IP routing tables in hosts
  to direct the right traffic to router A and B,
  instead of the default Internet router
• Done using Linux route command in the hosts
• Step4 Run traceroute on mvstu3 to demo the
  different paths taken for different flows
