The documentation linked from this page is specific to DETERlab. Although DETERlab is based on the [http://www.emulab.net/] Emulab software, it differs from Emulab in facilities,
features, and registration procedures.
For more extended and advanced documentation (e.g., advanced examples or an NS script reference), you can
refer to the Emulab-based documentation at [http://docfilter.deterlab.net/].
Note that this link will take you to a DETERized version of
the real Emulab documentation on the Emulab web site [http://www.emulab.net/]; i.e., we have filtered
their documentation to replace Emulab links with DETERlab links.

If you reach, from DETERlab documentation, a page that does not have "DETERlab" or "DETER"
at the top , you may have been diverted into an Emulab-specific (unfiltered) page that
may be incorrect for DETERlab. Please tell us if that happens so we can
plug the leak.
