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
