DETERlab is based on the [http://www.emulab.net/]Emulab  software, and the fundamentals
of Emulab and DETER are very similar.
However, DETERlab differs from Emulab in our approval process, user features,
node types, available tools, and supported operating systems.  See the links above.
The DETERlab documentation available from this page is generally specific to DETERlab.
For more advanced documentation (e.g., advanced examples or an NS reference),
refer to the Emulab-based documentation at [http://docfilter.deterlab.net/].
Note that this link to Emulab-based documentation takes you to a DETERized version of
the real Emulab documentation, which contains internal links to Emulab. We have filtered
it to replace Emulab references to DETERlab references.
differs from that on the Emulab site;

If you find a page that does not have "DETERlab" or "DETER"
at the top, you may have been diverted into the real Emulab documentation, which may
lad to information that is incorrect for DETERlab. Please tell us if that happens so we can
plug the leak.
