 In the case of our experiment, the software needed (iperf) was installed by our startup script.  Our startup script put the output of iperf in a file accessible from a web browser.   Since our iperf client ran on node {{{pc101}}} (the node labeled 'left' in the request spec), we can use a browser to view the output of this client.  Start up Firefox in a terminal on the GENI-in-a-Box virtual machine and enter the url {{{http://pc101.geni-in-a-box.net/iperf-client.log}}}.  The iperf client output should appear in your browser window.
 
-You can also ssh into the node pc102 to view this file.  GENI-in-a-Box comes with a user account 'alice' with private and public keys for alice installed in it.  When experimenter nodes are created an account is created for alice on these nodes and alice's public key installed in the .ssh directory inside alice's home directory.  You can create your own user accounts; see here for instructions.

-You can ssh into node {{{pc101}}} as alice type {{{ssh -lalice pc101.geni-in-a-box.net}}} or just {{{ssh -lalice pc101}}}.  The terminal session below shows the ssh'ing into {{{pc101}}}, going to the directory with the iperf log file, and viewing that file.

+Congratulations!  You have successfully run an experiment using GENI-in-a-Box resources!

+=== 2.4 GENI-in-a-Box Tips ===
+See [wiki:GiB-tips this page] for tips that you might find helpful while using GENI-in-a-Box.
+
+
+== 3. What's Next? ===
+You are now ready to run your own experiments inside GENI-in-a-Box.  You might want to start with one of the sample rspecs in the {{{~/geni-in-a-box}}} directory and edit it as needed by your experiment.  See the {{{README}}} file in this directory for a description of the rspecs in this directory.
+
+You can [wiki:SignMeUp apply for a GENI account] and use real GENI aggregates and resources for your experiments.  See [wiki:GiB-to-ProtoGENI] for tips on moving your experiment from GENI-in-a-Box to other aggregates (and vice versa).
