     71== 5.  Execute Experiment ==
     72
     73=== 5.1 Send IP traffic ===
     74The first simple experiment that we will run is to verify the IP connectivity between our hosts.
     75 
     76    a. Check the interfaces of your nodes. In the terminal type:
     77    {{{
     78   sudo ifconfig
     79  }}}
     80    You should see at least two interfaces:
     81      * The '''control interface'''. This is the interface you use to access the node, e.g. ssh into your host. The control interface is mainly used for control traffic, i.e. traffic for controlling the node and the experiment.
     82      * The '''data interface'''. This is the interface that is used for sending experimental traffic. This is the interface that connects to the other hosts of your experiment through GENI. The links between these interfaces are the ones that allow you to run non-IP experiments. '''The data interface is the one that has an IP address and mask that match what you configured before you reserved your resources.'''
     83    b. Fill in the worksheet, noting the name and  IP address of the control and of the data interfaces for each node.

     98    c. From the client, `ping` the server '''data plane interface'''. From the terminal window that is logged in to the client type :
     99{{{
     100    ping <server data IP addr> -c 5
     101}}}
     102       For example:
     103{{{
     104    ping 10.1.1.2 -c 5
     105}}}
     106    d. Now, `ping` the server '''control plane interface'''. From the terminal window that is logged in to the client type :
     107{{{
     108    ping <server control IP addr> -c 5
     109}}}

     116=== 5.2 Install and use `iperf` ===
     117    a. Install the `iperf` software on both nodes, by running the
     118    appropriate command below.

     159{{{
     160    iperf -s

     162    c. Run an `iperf` client via the data plane:
     163{{{
     164    iperf -c <server data IP addr>
     165}}}

     181''What is the bandwidth of this link?''

     184    e. Type `CTRL-C` on the server node to stop the `iperf` server.
     185
     186=== 5.3 Bring down the server's data interface ===
     187
     188    a. ExoGENI nodes run a service called "neuca" that managed network interfaces on the node.  To manually adjust the IP address, we must first disable neuca on both nodes.
