   176    176      data and programs to setup slivers and run experiments.

   178    178      The researcher chooses two nodes and registers sliver descriptions for them
   179    179      in the previous slice.  Each one includes a public interface to the CN.
   180    180   
   181    181      This and all subsequent changes performed by the researcher are stored in
   182    182      the registry, which holds the config of all components in the testbed.
   183         -2. The researcher tells the server to instantiate the slice.
          183  +2. The researcher tells the server to deploy the slice.
   184    184   
   185    185      Each of the previous nodes gets a sliver description for it.  If enough
   186    186      resources are available, a container is created by applying the sliver
   187    187      configuration over the selected template.
   188         -3. Once the researcher knows that slivers have been instantiated, the server
   189         -   can be commanded to activate the slice.
          188  +3. Once the researcher knows that slivers have been deployed, the server can
          189  +   be commanded to start the slice.
   190    190   
   191         -   When nodes get instructions to activate slivers they start containers.
          191  +   When nodes get instructions to start slivers they start containers.
   192    192   
   193    193      Containers execute the setup & run programs provided by the researcher.
   194    194   4. Researchers interact straight with containers if needed (e.g. via SSH) and
   195    195      collect results from them.
   196         -5. When finished, the researcher tells the server to deactivate the slice.
   197         -6. And also to deinstantiate it.
          196  +5. When finished, the researcher tells the server to stop the slice.
          197  +6. And also to undeploy it.
   198    198   
   199    199      Nodes get instructions and they stop and remove containers, respectively.
   200    200   7. If the researcher wants to, the slice itself can be removed.
