James, LXC containers are used by the emane demonstrations to provide network stack isolation. Network stack isolation is required to route traffic between NEMs using the virtual interfaces created by emanetransportd (emane0 interfaces). We use large testbeds that run one instance of emane and emanetransportd per physical machine, other testbeds that run full VMs - each running one instance of emane and emanetransportd, and other testbeds that use LXC containers.
The demonstrations were never intended to be used as a testbed experiment control system. Their purpose is to allow training attendees to gain hands on experience using emane without worrying about the details of experiment deployment. You can verify correct installation by setting up a simple two NEM experiment using the method most appropriate for your testbed in order to supply the required network stack isolation. The demonstrations can act as a guide for configuring emane XML. -- Steven Galgano Adjacent Link LLC www.adjacentlink.com On 07/17/2013 08:19 PM, J.
