Alternative Resources for the TCP Assignment

Using Omni to get virtual machines from ExoGENI:

• 1. Download the RSPEC from ​http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/TCPExampleExperiment/tcp-kvm.rspec
• 2. Follow the tutorial on ​HelloOmni to create the topology using tcp-pc.rspec on ExoGENI
  • Note: When dealing with specific slivers, we need to add "-a eg-gpo" to specify which aggregate manager we want to use (i.e., from where we want to reserve the resources). In our case here, we are using ExoGENI resource at GPO.
• 3. Log onto the reserved nodes following instructions here: ​LoginToNodes

Using Omni or Flack to get physical PCs from ProtoGENI:

• 1. Download the RSPEC from ​http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/TCPExampleExperiment/tcp-pc.rspec
• 2. Follow the tutorial on ​HelloOmni to create the topology using tcp-pc.rspec on ProtoGENI or InstaGENI
  OR, follow the tutorial on ​FlackTutorial to create the topology using Flack interface
  • Note: When dealing with specific slivers, we need to add "-a pg-utah" to specify which aggregate manager we want to use (i.e., from where we want to reserve the resources). In our case here, we are using utah aggregate.
