== Orchestrate/Run Experiment ==

=== 4)  Run and orchestrate I&M services and experiment services to complete run of experiment ===


4.1)  Initial setup:  start basic host measurements and basic ping active network measurements

 - objectives:
   - verify functionality of hosts 
   - verify topology of slice

 - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service
 
 - continue measurements throughout duration of the test/tutorial/experiment
 
 - at completion: 
   - functionality of hosts and topology of slice has been verified throughout duration of the experiment
 
 
4.2)  Continuity test:  for a limited time, run iperf active network measurements 

 - objectives:
   - verify ability of slice to carry traffic expected from experiment 

 - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service
 
 - once satisfactory measurements have been observed, stop continuity test 
 
 - at completion: 
   - capability of slice to carry traffic expected from experiment has been verified

   
4.3)  Instrument and run experiment:  

 - objectives:
   - gather measurements during experiment that allow experiment goals to be met
   
 - include desired measurement points within hosts and/or experiment services to instrument test/tutorial/experiment
 
 - begin to run and orchestrate measurement services
 
 - begin to run and orchestrate experiment services
 
 - observe measurements with a real-time presentation service, to verify expected operation of experiment
 
 - collect all measurements for duration of experiment
 
 - stop experiment services, when this run of the experiment has been completed
 
 - stop measurement services
 
 - at completion:
   - one run of experiment has been completed
   - real-time look at measurements has verfied expected operation of experiment
   - a full set of measurements has been collected, for later analysis and presentation
   - collected measurments have been transfered to storage service, so that slice resources can be released (if desired) 
   
4.4)  Store collected measurements and other artifacts from test/tutorial/experiment in storage service 

 - at completion:
   - collected measurements and other artifacts have been transfered to storage service
   - collected measurements and other artifacts are available for later analysis
   - slice resources can then be released at any time, without loss of any measurements or artifacts
