+
+== 1. Getting Started ==
+This document describes the installation, configuration and usage of !OnTimeMeasure, which is a prototype measurement service for the GENI facility users. The measurement service can be used to perform centralized and distributed orchestration and provisioning of active measurements within experiment slices for purposes such as:
+
+ * Network paths monitoring
+ * Network weather forecasting
+ * Network performance anomaly detection
+ * Network-bottleneck fault-location diagnosis
+
+The [http://ontime.oar.net ''OnTimeMeasure researcher web-portal''] enables a ProtoGENI/Emulab and !PlanetLab user to register, create and monitor experiment slices on a geographically distributed resources in the GENI facility. 
+
+Before proceeding further, we highly recommend reading the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/OnTimeMeasure/OnTimeMeasure-v1_Tutorial_061610.pdf Early Experimenter Tutorial].
+        
+== 2. Requirements ==
+
+The !OnTimeMeasure software package has the following requirements:
+
+A. ''Operating System:'' Fedora 8
+
+B. ''Open Ports:'' For !RootBeacon server: MySQL TCP/3306, Graphite TCP/2003 and TCP/17280, Collector TCP/7777, HTTP TCP/17290; For !NodeBeacon server: BWCTL TCP/4823, Nodescheduler TCP/17249, HTTP TCP/17290
+
+C. ''User Accounts:'' User must have registered accounts in the [http://ontime.oar.net OnTimeMeasure Researcher Web-portal] and [http://www.emulab.net Emulab Network Testbed]
+
+D. ''ProtoGENI slice:'' Create a new experimental slice in the [https://www.emulab.net/beginexp_html.php3 Emulab website] with at least 3 nodes. One is the root beacon. The others are node beacons.
+
+'''Note 1:''' To obtain detailed information about ProtoGENI slice creation, please refer to the [https://users.emulab.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/TutorialNew ''ProtoGENI Tutorial''][[BR]]
+
+'''Note 2:''' If you still use the command line Emulab test scripts to create a slice, see the end of this document for the example RSpec.
+
+'''Note 3:''' Following are the pre-requisite software and Perl modules, which will be installed automatically by the scripts delivered in the !OnTimeMeasure release package. 
+
+''Pre-requisite Software:'' MySQL, Graphite, Perl, Python, Iperf, Ruby, Bwctl-server, Bwctl-client, Cairo, Python_Twisted, Python_Piddle
+
+''Perl Modules:'' Config::Natural, POSIX, DBI, IO::Socket::SSL, Log::Log4perl, Net::SSLeay, Math::Random
+
+
+== 3. Centralized Case Installation ==
+
+=== 3.1 Software Installation ===
+Download the latest !OnTimeMeasure release package at http://ontime.oar.net/download/OnTimeMeasure_latest.php.
+
+Once you have downloaded the tar file, untar/unzip to see that it contains:
+
+ * !NodeBeacon.tar.gz

+ * README.txt
+
+Next, login using SSH to each of the servers, copy the appropriate tar files over, and run the following commands to install the measurement service: 
+
+
+__'''''On the Root Beacon Server:'''''__
+
+{{{
+tar xzf RootBeacon.tar.gz
+cd RootBeacon/InstallScript
+chmod +x ontime_software_install.sh
+./ontime_software_install.sh
