Emulab FAQ: Using the Testbed: How long can I keep using my nodes?

You can keep them as long as you need them, subject to our Node Usage Policies. In general, you should do your work, and then terminate your experiment as soon as you're done with it. If you're not done with it, but are through for a while, you should probably "swap out" your experiment (See the question What is Swapping in this FAQ). It is especially important to swap out your experiment if you're through with it for the weekend. Emulab usually gets heavy use on the weekends by users who need to make very large experiments, so it is important to leave as many nodes available as possible.
