+Here is an annotated {{{fedd.conf}}} file that describes the various parameters necessary to run an experiment controller:

+# This section is primarily to set internal variables for customization.  A 
+# variable is inserted by %(variable)s .  NB: that s after the parens is
+# literal.

+base: /usr/local/etc/fedd
+# Space in /var for the Experiment controller. Used in susbtitutions.

+# How to convert tcl (ns2) experiments into topdl.  Generally the safest way to
+# do this is to contact DETER's EC using the ns2topdl_uri setting below.  If
+# the testbed is a DETER testbed, you may be able to do the conversion locally
+# using the tcl_splitter parameter below.  Pick one.
