     4== Overview ==
     5
     6This tutorial will guide you how to conduct systematic experimentation on GENI. We will setup a layer-3 virtual network environment for routing experiments through this tutorial.
     7In this tutorial, you will learn how to conduct systematic experimentation step by step by a case study.

     9=== Systematic Experimental Design Flow ===
     10
     11The flow diagram below shows general steps:
     12
     13 * Install Software
     14  * Start with smallest network, usually single node.
     15 * Configure and run experiments on smallest reasonable network
     16  * Automate Experimental Configuration
     17  * End-to-End Validation
     18  * Automate Measurement
     19 * Scaling Up the Experiments
     20  * Increasing the number of aggregates
     21  * Increasing the number of nodes with one aggregate
     22  * Increasing both aggregates and nodes.
     23

     27=== Objective of the Case Study ===
     28
     29In the case study, we will create a layer-3 virtual network that is composed of virtual routers running `OSPF` protocol. We aim to observe the `OSPF` routing table updates under both link and node failures. We will go through every step in the flow diagram above to illustrate how to deploy this experiment systematically using GENI testbed, in particular, using InstaGENI aggregates.

     48 
     49 [[Image(XuanSandbox:4to7nodes-1aggregate.png)]]
     50
     51
     52 Increase both the number of nodes and aggregates
