+
+Fill out the form.
+ * Make sure the 'Project' drop-down box has the 'gec8tutorial' option selected.
+ * Pick an experiment name no one else is likely to use.
+ * For the 'Your NS File' section - download the file attached at the bottom of this
+   page, and upload it in the 'Upload' box. We suggest opening this file with a text
+   editor and taking a look at it - it does a number of interesting things, and is
+   well commented. There are some parameters you can edit at the top - but please don't
+   turn up the number of nodes very far!
+
+Click 'Submit'! You'll now see a logfile of all of the actions that are being taken
+to create your experiment and slice. When the creation is done (it will take a few
+minutes), the log will report success, you'll get email, and (depending on your browser)
+you may get a pop-up letting you know it's done.
+
+You can click on the name of the experiment at any time during the process to go to
+the 'experiment page'. From there, you can explore more aspects of your experiment, such
+as:
+ * A visualization of the topology
+ * The identities of the nodes allocated to you
+ * Information about the slices that were created for you
+ * ... and much more
+
+If you want to log in to any of the nodes in your experiment, you will need to have your
+ssh keys set up; nodes set up in this way do not accept logins with passwords. Log in
+using your Emulab username and the hostname <node-id>.emulab.net, where <node-id> is the
+ID shown on the experiment page.
+
+When you are finished with the experiment, use the 'Swap Experiment Out' link on the
+experiment page.
