== Agenda / Details ==

The goal of the session is to discuss and clarify how we expect an experiment to run at a campus or across multiple campuses. 

Specifically we hope to discuss approaches to questions such as:

 * What abstraction of the network does GENI provide to experimenters for programming and configuring?
 * What role does OpenFlow (or other SDN mechanisms) play in providing a sandbox for experimenters?
 * What role does OpenFlow (or other SDN mechanisms) play in allowing experimenters to manipulate operations within that sandbox?
 * How does the problem of stitching across campuses impact the experimenter's ability to program their network substrate?
