== The REST API ==
Flow manipulation is done by logging onto the controller, entering debug mode, and issuing HTTP control messages (e.g. PUT, GET, DELETE) using `curl`. Here we'll describe how to use the REST API through an example based on the REST documents (linked at the bottom of the page) and e-mail exchanges.

 1. ''Log in''. From gw.orbit-lab.org, ssh to `kvm-big` as user `admin`, password ''native101''. 
 2. ''Enter debug mode''.
