[[PageOutline]] = Tutorial: Experimenter Workflow and Example Topologies = == Schedule == Tuesday, 10:00am - noon == Session Leaders == Niky Riga, Sarah Edwards, GENI Project Office == Agenda / Details == The purpose of this tutorial is to discuss in detail the life-cycle of a GENI experiment, and provide how to hands-on experience about how to design and conduct experiments that span multiple aggregates. For this tutorial we are going to use the GENI multi-campus, backbone (layer 2) network and discuss how you can choose different topologies. We are going to use both a graphical tool (Flack) and a command line tool (Onni( for reserving resources. In this tutorial, we are going to use the Omni client which is a command line tool for reserving resources across control frameworks. ==== Prerequisites ==== A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC13Agenda/IntroToGENITutorial Intro To GENI tutorial]). Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with Planetlab, ProtoGENI and OpenFlow aggregates. ==== Please Arrive With: ==== Laptop with recent version of [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtual Box]. If you are unable to bring one you may partner with someone else. ==== Results ==== After completing this tutorial, you will have a working GENI slice that will include resources from different aggregates and you will know how to design and deploy a multi-aggregate experiment in GENI. Although your account is temporary, it is a real GENI account that you can use to run experiments in GENI until it's deactivated. If you would like to experiment on GENI after that, please contact as at [mailto:help@geni.net] to get a permanent account.
