     11Under fedd version 2.0, the experiment controller - the fedd that accepts user requests- may run on any machine, though it is often convenient to run it on the users machine of an emulab testbed.  It will be asserting [http://fedd.isi.deterlab.net/trac/wiki/FeddAbout#GlobalIdentifiers:Three-levelNames three-level names] so it is intuitive to colocate a controller that will be asserting identities from a given testbed, but not required.  Any host with a [http://fedd.isi.deterlab.net/trac/wiki/FeddAbout#GlobalIdentifiers:Fedids fedid] can assert them, of course.
