    187187=== Attribute Conventions ===
    188188
    189 Though we expect attribute conventions to evolve, currently the following entension attributes are understood.  Several are being used to bridge from the existing experiment description language to current topdl, and are somewhat DETER-specific.

     190
     191These are attributes of Computers:
    190192
    191193 '''failureaction'''::
    192194  What the underlying testbed should do if this node cannot be reserved or configured.  Choices are '''fatal''' or '''nonfatal'''.
    193  '''osid'''::
    194   The local emulab operating system image.  This will become less common as more plugins are capable of mapping from operating system parameters into local image name, but can be used as a low-level escape.
     195 '''startup'''::
     196  The startup command to run when the node is booted
    195197 '''testbed'''::
    196198  The testbed on which to place this element if the experiment is federated.
     
    198200  The local emulab machine type.  This will become less common as more plugins are capable of mapping from CPU/storage parameters into local machine type, but can be used as a low-level escape.
    199201
    200 The following attributes appear in topology descriptions for use by local DETER-like testbeds in configuration:
     202These are attributes of Interface objects nested inside computers:
    201203
    202204 '''ip4_address'''::
     
    204206 '''ip4_netmask'''::
    205207  The IP version 4 network mask of the interface that the attribute is attached to as a dotted decimal.
    206  '''startup'''::
    207   The startup command to run when the node is booted
    208

     209Finally, this is an attribute of an Operating System object, nested inside a Computer:
     210 '''osid'''::
     211  The local emulab operating system image.  This will become less common as more plugins are capable of mapping from operating system parameters into local image name, but can be used as a low-level escape.
