    220 At this point, the network topology described and initialized in Exercise 1 is up and functional. In order to produce synthetic traffic, we will use mfping to send packets between the hosts. In order to perform more advanced network measurements, other applications are also available, such as a modified version of the commonly used application ''iperf''. In addition to the deployment specified in exercise 1, we install OML-enabled statistics monitor for !MobilityFirst routers.
    221 
    222 The entire script is available as part of the tutorial package as orbit/tutorial/scripts/exercise2.rb
    223 
    224 The key extensions over previous script are briefly discussed below.

    226 The following snippet from the script shows the code added to set up the OML enabled Monitor on Routers Application and its arguments:
     220At this point, the network topology described and initialized in Exercise 1 is supposed to be ready and functional. In order to produce synthetic traffic, we will use mfping to send packets between the end hosts. In order to perform more advanced network measurements, other applications are also available, such as a modified version of the commonly used application ''iperf''. As per the goal of the exercise, we will use an OML-enabled statistics monitor for !MobilityFirst routers in order to collect usage statistics on the nodes.

    253 As seen above, the OML enabled monitor will work with the !MobilityFirst router that will enable us to track and visualize the forwarding performance of MFRs. In order report statistics to the OML server, the monitor periodically queries the monitor through the control port (''ctrl_port'' in our script)

In order to report statistics to the ORBIT's OML server, the monitor periodically queries the router through a socket control port (''ctrl_port'' in our script).
