Slice

A slice consists of reserved resources and the set of GENI experimenters entitled to act on those resources.

• Experiments live within slices i.e. they use resources reserved by their slice.
• Slices isolate experiments. GENI is a shared testbed and slices ensure experimenters do not interfere with one another.
• Experimenters are responsible for their slice and will be held accountable for any adverse behaviors by experiments in their slices.
