1. 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

2. Local demo Step1: Set up the circuit between two routers
Done by manually provisioning the circuit on MSPP
Step2: Configure the IP routing tables in routers to direct the traffic destined to mvstu4 and mvstu5 via two 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
