| 5 | | == Experiment Description == |
| 6 | | In this tutorial we are going to use Omni which is a command line tool for reserving GENI resources. We are going to use a very simple topology that has a server and a client connected by only one link. At install time we are going to install at the server a web and an iperf servers, while the client will issue `http` and `iperf` requests. We will be able to see the performance on the server on a web page. |
