Moving Experiments from GENI-in-a-Box to ProtoGENI Aggregates

The GENI-in-a-Box aggregate is most similar to the GENI ​ProtoGENI aggregates. This page describes some of the similarities and differences between these aggregates.

Similarities

• All experimenter nodes have 3 NICs available to the experimenter. These are in addition to a fourth NIC that is used by the aggregate control plane.
• Experimenters get root access to their virtual machines.
• Virtual machines from both aggregates are implemented as OpenVZ containers running Fedora 15. The Ubuntu flavor of GENI-in-a-Box provides OpenVZ containers running Ubuntu.

Differences

• Names for eth devices.
