GEC17 GENI Desktop and GEMINI Tutorial

Overview

The GEMINI instrumentation and measurement services enables users to quickly add software to their slice that will automatically measure and monitor network traffic and other information about the slice. GEMINI utilizes the GENI Desktop to view and access the measurement information produced by GEMINI. The GENI Desktop is also integrated with FLACK which can be used to create and modify slices.

Unlike past tutorials, this tutorial is designed to attendees with a quick introduction to the

features of GEMINI and the GENI Desktop, but then let them gain hands-on experience by working through a set of tasks at their own pace. Each of the tasks focuses on a different aspect/feature of the GENI Desktop and the GEMINI measurement system. Attendees can pick work on tasks in any order after the slice has been created, initialized, and instrumentized (task 1).
