| 35 | | || Hello, GENI! || [[Image(GENI.png, nolink, 50%)]] || Coming soon: In this introductory GENI experiment, you will walk step-by-step through the process of setting up and running your first GENI experiment. || |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | || Example Experiment: [wiki:UDTExampleExperiment] || [[Image(UDTExampleExperiment.png, nolink)]] || In this example experiment, you will compare the behavior of two different transport protocols, UDT and TCP, under varying network conditions.[[br]][[br]]You will use ProtoGENI hosts to build your network.[[br]][[br]]In order to try this example experiment, you should have GENI credentials and be familiar with using either the Flack GUI tool or the omni command line tool. Learn more about credentials at SignMeUp or by sending us mail [mailto:help@geni.net]. || |
| 38 | | |
| 39 | | || Example Experiment: ClickExampleExperiment || [[Image(ClickExampleExperiment.png, nolink, 50%)]] || This example experiment shows how to use GENI resources to test a simple non-IP routing technique. This experiment will be of interest to experimenters working with novel protocols, particularly those with Click-based implementations.[[br]][[br]]You will use ProtoGENI hosts and Click modular router software to build your network.[[br]][[br]]In order to try this example experiment, you should have GENI credentials and be familiar with using the omni command line tool. Learn more about credentials Learn more about credentials at SignMeUp or by sending us mail [mailto:help@geni.net]. || |

| 43 | | || Example Class Assignment: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ScalableMonitoring/openflow-geni.pdf Flow Management with OpenFlow] || [[Image(FlowManagementAssignment.png, 75%, nolink)]] || The objective of this assignment is to familiarize you with the software-defined networking, as well !OpenFlow technology. A moderately deep understanding of the !OpenFlow controller model and API is required for this project. You will design and implement !OpenFlow controllers and associated experiment topologies to implement a basic firewall and a simple load balancer. [[br]][[br]] In order to try this example experiment, you should have GENI credentials and be familiar with using either the Flack GUI tool or the omni command line tool.
