GENI - Virtual Topology Service

Welcome to the online documentation for the VTS deployment in the NSF GENI federation.

The Virtual Topology Service (VTS) is a high-level orchestration system for creating complex network topologies for networking research and classroom exercises. Despite the name, not all VTS topologies are virtualized - as covered in detail in the documentation the system will orchestrate your requested topology on the infrastructure that is available, some of which may be virtualized while parts may be implemented by giving you direct control of existing infrastructure.
