The clownix switch is a single process (without any thread) where all sockets are in non-block mode. This process reads the file "config_simu_net" that defines all the machines with all their interfaces. This process creates a server socket listening on an unix socket file name for each interface of each virtual machine that will be run. The start_uml_clownix script also reads the file "config_simu_net" and prepares all the directories for the virtual machines (cow directory ...) and start the machines with the command line indicating the socket server names. When the machines start, the clownix switch gets the connections for each interface. Then when packets arrive on the traffic sockets, it is switched according to the topology. The clownix switch is also server for a control socket that can modify the switching topology. The example of use is the start_uml_clownix script. For the documentation, it is no yet done, but I know it is necessary.
