1. Describe what happens when you begin an experiment in Schooner
(assume you already have a configuration).
2. What capabilities are available in Schooner for specifying
link characteristics? Are these realistic (why or why not)?
Would any other link characteristics be useful?
3. If after starting an experiment in Schooner, you access a project
machine and change the configuration of eth0, how would this
affect your experiment?
4. Give an example of when you would choose to use copper wiring
over optical fiber, and vice versa. Explain your reasoning.
5. If in the hardware component of the lab you had been asked to
configure a simple 2 node network that consisted of one Windows
