| 717 | | |
| 718 | | === 4) Run and orchestrate I&M services and experiment services to complete run of experiment === |
| 719 | | |
| 720 | | |
| 721 | | 4.1) Initial setup: start basic host measurements and basic ping active network measurements |
| 722 | | |
| 723 | | - objectives: |
| 724 | | - verify functionality of hosts |
| 725 | | - verify topology of slice |
| 726 | | |
| 727 | | - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service |
| 728 | | |
| 729 | | - continue measurements throughout duration of the test/tutorial/experiment |
| 730 | | |
| 731 | | - at completion: |
| 732 | | - functionality of hosts and topology of slice has been verified throughout duration of the experiment |
| 733 | | |
| 734 | | |
| 735 | | 4.2) Continuity test: for a limited time, run iperf active network measurements |
| 736 | | |
| 737 | | - objectives: |
| 738 | | - verify ability of slice to carry traffic expected from experiment |
| 739 | | |
| 740 | | - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service |
| 741 | | |
| 742 | | - once satisfactory measurements have been observed, stop continuity test |
| 743 | | |
| 744 | | - at completion: |
| 745 | | - capability of slice to carry traffic expected from experiment has been verified |
| 746 | | |
| 747 | | |
| 748 | | 4.3) Instrument and run experiment: |
| 749 | | |
| 750 | | - objectives: |
| 751 | | - gather measurements during experiment that allow experiment goals to be met |
| 752 | | |
| 753 | | - include desired measurement points within hosts and/or experiment services to instrument test/tutorial/experiment |
| 754 | | |
| 755 | | - begin to run and orchestrate measurement services |
| 756 | | |
| 757 | | - begin to run and orchestrate experiment services |
| 758 | | |
| 759 | | - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service, to verify expected operation of experiment |
| 760 | | |
| 761 | | - collect all measurements for duration of experiment |
| 762 | | |
| 763 | | - stop experiment services, when this run of the experiment has been completed |
| 764 | | |
| 765 | | - stop measurement services |
| 766 | | |
| 767 | | - at completion: |
| 768 | | - one run of experiment has been completed |
| 769 | | - real-time look at measurements has verfied expected operation of experiment |
| 770 | | - a full set of measurements has been collected, for later analysis and presentation |
| 771 | | - collected measurments have been transfered to storage service, so that slice resources can be released (if desired) |
| 772 | | |
| 773 | | 4.4) Store collected measurements and other artifacts from test/tutorial/experiment in storage service |
| 774 | | |
| 775 | | - at completion: |
| 776 | | - collected measurements and other artifacts have been transfered to storage service |
| 777 | | - collected measurements and other artifacts are available for later analysis |
| 778 | | - slice resources can then be released at any time, without loss of any measurements or artifacts |
| 779 | | |
