+
+## Running edgesim
+
+The edgesim master is a server that creates the network over mininet
+and responds to http requests to change a device's link to a tower.
+
+Start the edgesim master server as follows - 
+
+```
+sudo python -m edgesim.master.server
+```
+
+Once the master brings up the network, either use xterms to access the
+device and the registry.
+
+To bring up the registry,
+
+```
+python -m edgesim.registry.server
+```
+
+To run the client,
+
+```
+python -m edgesim.client.main
+```
