== Description ==

A hands on tutorial for getting up and running with the basics of VTS
on GENI using [http://geni-lib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro/intro.html geni-lib], as well as pointers and demos of advanced VTS
functionality such as Network Function insertion.

== Audience ==

''Intermediate to Advanced.'' 

GENI experimenters wishing to:
 * build complex topologies or 
 * work with protocols (e.g. IPv6) that are not generally available in the test bed.  

While VTS is not exclusive to SDN research, SDN experimenters will likely find additional value.

== Pre-requisites / Pre-work == 

Working knowledge of available GENI resources and how to build basic experiments.

Install and configure geni-lib:
 * Install `geni-lib 0.9-DEV` on your system:  http://geni-lib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro/install.html
   * If you already have installed `geni-lib` you will need to update your clone with `hg update -C 0.9-DEV` and run the installation procedure again.  
 * Set up your `geni-lib` context by importing data you can acquire from the GENI Portal: http://geni-lib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/portalcontext.html

'''Note that you cannot use MacOS X Yosemite (10.10.x) with geni-lib.'''  Use a virtual machine of your choice instead.
