+# Instructions
+
+## Introduction
+
+In this tutorial, you will implement a heavy hitter detection filter.
+
+Network flows typically have a fairly wide distribution in terms of the 
+data they transmit, with most of the flows sending little data and few
+flows sending a lot. The latter flows are called heavy hitters, and they
+often have a detrimental effect to network performance. This is
+because they cause congestion, leading to significantly increased completion
+times for small, short-lived flows. Detecting heavy hitters allows us to treat them 
+differently, e.g. we can put their packets in low priority queues, allowing
+packets of other flows to face little or no congestion.
+
+In this example, you will implement a heavy hitter detection filter within 
+a router. You can find a skeleton of the program in simple_router.p4. In that
+file, you have to fill in the parts that are marked with TODO.
+
+This example is based on [count-min sketch](http://theory.stanford.edu/~tim/s15/l/l2.pdf).
+In fact, we use two count-min sketches which are reset with an offset
+equal to their half-life. With every new packet coming in, we update
+the values of both sketches but we use only the ones of the least 
+recently reset one to decide whether a packet belongs to a heavy hitter
+flow or not.
+
+> **Spoiler alert:** There is a reference solution in the `solution`
+> sub-directory. Feel free to compare your implementation to the
+> reference.
+
+
+## Step 1: Run the (incomplete) starter code
+
+The directory with this README also contains a skeleton P4 program,
+`simple_router.p4`, which implements a simple router. Your job will be to
+extend this skeleton program to properly implement a heavy hitter
+detection filter.
+
+Before that, let's compile the incomplete `simple_router.p4` and bring
+up a switch in Mininet to test its behavior.
+
+1. In your shell, run:
+   ```bash
+   ./run.sh
+   ```
+   This will:
+   * create a p4app application,
+   * compile `simple_switch.p4`,
+   * generate control plane code,
+   * start a Mininet instance with one switch (`s1`) conected to
+	 two hosts (`h1` and `h2`).
+   * install the control plane code to your switch,
+   * The hosts are assigned IPs of `10.0.0.10` and `10.0.1.10`.
+
+2. You should now see a Mininet command prompt. Run ping between
+   `h1` and `h2` to make sure that everything runs correctly:
+   ```bash
+   mininet> h1 ping h2
+   ```
+   You should see all packets going through.
+
+3. Type `exit` to leave each Mininet command line.
+
+### A note about the control plane
+
+A P4 program defines a packet-processing pipeline, but the rules
+within each table are inserted by the control plane. When a rule
+matches a packet, its action is invoked with parameters supplied by
+the control plane as part of the rule.
+
+In this exercise, we have already implemented the control plane
+logic for you. As part of invoking `run.sh`, a set of rules is generated
+by `setup.py` and when bringing up the Mininet instance, these
+packet-processing rules are installed in the tables of
+the switch. These are defined in the `simple_router.config` file.
+
+## Step 2: Implement the heavy hitter detection filter
+
+The `simple_router.p4` file contains a skeleton P4 program with key pieces of
+logic replaced by `TODO` comments. Your implementation should follow
+the structure given in this file, just replace each `TODO` with logic
+implementing the missing piece.
+
+More specifically, you need to implement the main actions used within
+the heavy hitter detection block. In this example, when our filter
+classifies a packet as belonging to a heavy hitter flow, it marks
+it as such and then the switch drops it before reaching the 
+egress control.
+
+## Step 3: Run your solution
+
+Our heavy hitter filter requires periodic reset of the registers of the
+count-min sketches. Running:
+```bash
+bash filter_reset.sh
+```
+in a terminal window does that periodic reset for you.
+
+The filter currently allows 1000 bytes/sec (you can change that value
+in `setup.py`).
+
+In another terminal window, run:
+```bash
+./run.sh
+```
+
+In the minigraph window, you can try:
+```
+h1 ping -s 80 -i 0.1 h2
+```
+With this command h1, sends a packet with a total IP length
+of 100 bytes every 100 ms. When you run this command, you
+shouldn't see any drops. If on the other hand you run:
+```
+h1 ping -s 80 -i 0.05 h2
+```
+h1 sends a packet every 50 ms, which puts the flow above
+the filter limit. In this case you will observe that about
+half of the packets send by h1 are being dropped at the switch.
+
+### Next steps
+Check out the code in `setup.py` and `filter_reset.sh`. By changing
+the constants in those, you can experiment with different 
+heavy hitter threshold levels, count-min sketch sizes and the accuracy
+of the throughput approximation.
