 The this layout connects 2 experiment on DETERLab.  This is because the testbeds are all prefixed with the {{{deter}}} testbed name.  The ''testbed''/''sub-testbed'' syntax allows multiple instantiations of experiments on the same testbed.  This layout creates 2 experiment on DETERLab (DETERLab's [NewFeddAbout#TheExperimentController experiment contoller] maps the {{{deter}}} testbed name to DETERLab).
 
+The commented lines including the {{{SERVICE}}} keyword configure [NewFeddAbout#ExperimentServices experiment services].  The format of the line is 4 colon-separated parameters giving:
+
+ * The service name ('''project_export''' other valid services are listed on the [NewFeddAbout#ExperimentServices experiment services description])
+ * The exporter
+ * The importers (comma-separated)
+ * Any attributes (comma-separated name value pairs, each joined by an equals sign)
+
+These lines request that each sub experiment be instantiated in the TIED project on DETER.  People following this example should either remove the lines or edit them to name a project that they are a member of.

 To create the federated experiment, execute the [FeddCommands#fedd_create.py fedd_create.py] command on {{{users.isi.deterlab.net}}}:

 The parameters are the file containing the layout ({{{federation1.tcl}}}) and the shorthand name the caller wants to use to refer to the federated experiment.  The shorthand is a request. The experiment controller defines the namespace of experiments and will resolve conflicts.  That is, if another user has already named an experiment {{{fed1}}} on this controller, the controller with pick an new name.

+Services can also by configured using the {{{--service}}} parameter to [FeddCommands#fedd_create.py fedd_create.py].  The format of the parameter is the same colon-separated list above.
 
 This will run for a little while, as much as a few minutes.  It is gathering rights to access remote testbeds and starting the sub-experiments on them.  Shortly you will see something like:
