= Aggregate Name = '''ProtoGENI Emulab Aggregate''' [[Image(Federation-logo.png, 80)]][GeniApprovedMeaning What does this mean?] = Aggregate Overview = || Aggregate Resources || This aggregate includes: (1) The University of Utah Emulab testbed consisting of over 400 co-located PCs that can be loaded with an experimenter specified OS image and connected in arbitrary topologies and (2) Programmable switches at Internet2 backbone locations at Salt Lake City, Kansas City and Washington DC. || || Typical Experiments || The Emulab testbed is suited for experiments that require a controllable, predictable, and repeatable network environment. Experimenters can get PC nodes--virtual machines or complete PCs-- on which they have full "root" access, run an operating system of their choice, and connect nodes in an arbitrary topology. The ProtoGENI backbone nodes are suitable for wide area networking experiments over the Internet2. Experimenters may set up VLANS connecting GENI aggregates and other resources on Internet2 and install custom software on the ProtoGENI backbone nodes for Layer 2 and above processing. || || Aggregate Web Page || http://www.emulab.net/ for information about the Utah Emulab testbed and http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/Integration for information about the ProtoGENI backbone nodes. || || Aggregate Status || http://www.emulab.net/ (See top-right of page for statistics on active experiments and for resource availability.) || || Layer 2 Connectivity || Internet2 || [[BR]] = Experimenter Support = || Guides and Documents || Tutorials, FAQs and other documentation at http://www.protogeni.net. || || Support || ProtoGENI user support mailing list: mailto:geni-users@emulab.net.

ProtoGENI Emulab users can ask for as many nodes as are currently available. Experiments are "swapped out" of the testbed after a "Maximum Duration" period of inactivity.
