 Networking configuration can be found in the following places:

 Each interface on the experimental network will be assigned a VDE switch and port number. If your platform supports VDE natively, then you're done!

+=== Routes ===
+
+Route information is in {{{/var/benito/config/route/$HOSTNAME}}}. Benito provides a script for automatically setting up routes:
+
+{{{
+/var/benito/launch/routes.py /var/benito/config [$HOSTNAME]
+}}}
+
+The hostname parameter is optional and will be auto-detected if it is not provided.

 === Control Net ===
 
-TODO: info about requesting controlnet interfaces; bridging
+FOREWORD: Control net bridging is currently a hack. It makes a lot of assumptions about the underlying platform (i.e., qemu) and many aspects of this are baked into the code. Best of luck..
+
+You'll probably want to bridge onto the control net if that makes sense for your platform. If you see yourself wanting to SSH to a VM running on your platform, this is for you.
+
+Due to DETER's controlnet separation, you must explicitly request IPs/MACs from boss. The setup script {{{setup/15_control_net.py}}} handles these requisitions. You'll need to hack this file a bit. Sorry!
+
+On pnodes which host vnodes, the controlnet interface is bridged with TAP controlnet interfaces of its children. The bridge is brought up by {{{launch/qemu/control_bridge.py}}}. This script is currently tailored to QEMU. To support new VM infrastructure this will need to be hacked on.
