| | 7 | Caveats at ProtoGENI: |
| | 8 | 1. The LAN being shared must obviously be a real VLAN, not a trivial link |
| | 9 | (link between two VMs on the same physical host). In other words, the minimal case requires two VMs which each have a different `component_id`. |
| | 10 | 2. There is no change to idleness or expiration behavior; these resources must be renewed like other resources using the usual mechanisms. |
| | 11 | 3. When the shared LAN is unshared, or the slice terminated, all of the |
| | 12 | other slices that were using that LAN will have the ports yanked out and |
| | 13 | disabled. However, the resources will remain. |
