    v5 v6  
    77     * DON'T generate traffic to 192.168.x.x network
    88        * DO use addresses of experimental interfaces. These can be from any IPv4 address range, depending on your NS file, but are often from 10.10.x.x address range.
    9 
     9 * DON'T store large files in your home or project directory unless you need them in multiple experiment instances.
     10   * DO store these files locally on a node, e.g., in {{{/tmp}}} folder. If you need more disk space you can mount more by doing
     11     {{{ sudo /usr/local/etc/emulab/mkextrafs.pl /mnt
     12user=`whoami`
     13sudo chown $user /mnt/local }}}
    1014
    1115Traffic from experimental nodes to/from your home directory also travels over the control network (read more about this in the next section). To minimize this load please refrain from performing large (> 500 MB) or frequent (< 10 s) reads/writes that involve your experimental nodes and your home directory, unless absolutely necessary. If you need to log something, use a local directory on an experimental node, such as /tmp, and transfer the logs to your home directory before you swap out to save them.
