Yes, you can run a hierarchy of flowvisors and for better or for worse, people do this all of the time. In terms of configuration, it works just like you think it would.
Call your flowvisors Alice, Bob, Cathy, where Cathy is the third, top-level flowvisor on Alice, you would create a slice for Cathy and point the desired switches at it, e.g., fvctl createSlice cathy tcp:cathy-ip:cathy-port [email protected] fvctl addFlowSpace any 1000 any Slice:cathy=4 on Bob, the same: fvctl createSlice cathy tcp:cathy-ip:cathy-port [email protected] fvctl addFlowSpace any 1000 any Slice:cathy=4 Note: there is a (very small) latency hit in doing this. - Rob .
