    15 As this is a wireless testbed, it is difficult to run multiple experiments without interference. Therefore, we currently only support one experiment at a time on the grids. In Orbit speak, a grid is a set of nodes on which to run experiments. In the present setup, the testbed consists of a 20*20 grid of nodes, and an array of sandboxes (1*2 grids).

    1717There are multiple [wiki:SandBoxes sandboxes] (2 nodes) available, which are development and test environments intended to reduce the time experimenters need on the main grid. Ideally, experimenters develop their software (application programs, routing protocols, measurement instrumentation, etc.) on offsite machines and then use the sandboxes for integration with the orbit environment and orbit software infrastructure. Once the experiment runs successfully in the sandbox environment, it can be moved to the main grid with few modifications.

    25 During your approved time slot, you will be able to log into the console of the respective grid. A console is a dedicated machine that allows access to all resources on that grid.

    27 Currently, this requires a two step process. You first need to log into '''gateway.orbit-lab.org''' with your Orbit credentials using [http://www.openssh.com/ SSH]. From there you then can log into the console corresponding to the following table:

    37 When you are logged in, you can start an experiment using the [wiki:NodeHandler nodehandler]. First time users are '''highly''' encouraged to reserve time on a sandbox instead of the main grid, and start with the built-in ''Hello World'' experiment. This experiment will send UDP datagrams of 1024 bytes from node 1-1 to node 1-2 at 300 kbps CBR traffic. Both, sender and receiver, report measurements to a database, using our [wiki:OML OML] measurement framework.
