1) About
============
The final G2MPLS prototype is released in the form of a XEN virtual machine, configured with all the system packages (libraries and programs) needed for the correct operations of the G2MPLS software modules. The G2MPLS virtual machine is a XEN Domain U (DomU) based on a Linux/Gentoo distribution for x86 32-bit platforms. It is built with XEN capabilities activated in its kernel 2.6.16. The hosting server from which it has been derived (XEN Domain 0 – Dom0) is a Linux/Ubuntu 7.04 with kernel 2.6.19 and XEN 3.0 installed.

2) License 
=============
The G2MPLS Components are licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 (GPLv2).

You can find this license in License.txt

3) Installation/usage how to
===============================
The G2MPLS XEN VM consists of two disks
- g2mpls_controller.sda1, containing the system root ("/")
- g2mpls_controller_swap.sda2, representing the swap memory for that system

The XEN dom0 configuration which is needed to start the G2MPLS XEN VM is provided in the following excerpt to be added as independent file in /etc/xen/seeds directory.
Example configuration is in file: g2mpls_controller.start

The G2MPLS VM boots with pre-configured hostname (g2mpls-controller) and IP address for its virtual
network interface. Both can be overridden in /etc/conf.d according to the user' needs. The root user can be
accessed with password "g2mpls".
