== Capabilities for Experimentation ==

  * [wiki:OrchestratorQuickstart Orchestration (MAGI)] - Communications and control system for repeatable experimentation.
  * [wiki:ContainersQuickstart Virtualization (Containers)] - For creating large-scale  DETER topologies that support differing degrees of fidelity in individual elements. Helpful for experiments requiring 400+ computers. 
  * [http://fedd.deterlab.net/trac Federation] - Federation architecture for creating experiments that span multiple testbeds through dynamically acquiring resources from other testbeds.
  * [http://abac.deterlab.net/ Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)] - Scalable authorization system used with the federation capability.
