 The following steps describe the startup process of the Floodlight controller. The reference is the source code in Main.java.

 1. The `FloodlightModuleLoader` reads in the list of modules, and loads them, returning an `IFloodlightModuleContext` instance. 
 
- The `FloodlightModuleLoader` basically coordinates calls to the functions provided by the `IFloodlightModule` interface for each module in the config file (floodlightdefault.properties) and the modules that they depend on. Some key points are: [[BR]]

   * `IFloodlightModule` is the interface that lets you define Floodlight module behavior in a uniform way. 
-  * The function ''loadModulesFromList'' finds all of the modules that it needs to load via a DFS beginning with the modules listed in the config file. The search is facilitated by `IFloodlightModule` functions.

   * The structure ''moduleSet'' will ultimately contain the minimum number of modules that need to be loaded at startup. 
   
 2. The `IFloodlightModuleContext` instance fetches copies of the `IRestApiService` and `IFloodlightProviderService` modules. 
 
- `IFloodlightModuleContext` provides a clean mechanism for retrieving references to the loaded modules/services, and their configuration parameters. `FloodlightModuleContext` implements this interface. [[BR]]
