Attached are some small edits and comments for V 0.8. I think that if the pics 5 and 9 I sent earlier can be incorporated somehow that this seems good to release. John

modified fig 5 and 9
by John Vollbrecht 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Attached are modified pictures 5 and 9. In 5 I called the transport plane an example, and showed all resources terminating at the edge of the network. I also eliminated the diagram at the control plane level because i don't think it is needed - I think it may well become standard in the protocol doc, but it is not officially defined in NML and it seems pre-mature to include it in this. I think the diagram works ok, and I am fine with moving the connection capability to the connection section. In 9 I left the top picture in tact -- it seems fine to me. The bottom picture I made changes similar to what I did in 5. 5 doesn't show ports in the lower pic. I added the concept of ports at the end of links as well as at edge of switches, and show an SDP connection between ports. The important thing for me in this is that resources are in one net or another so they can be managed by an NSI/NRM. Connections between networks are physically null; topologically networks are interconnected with SDPs. I believe this is what we agreed at OGF in Chicago and before. Any comments? John

NSI conf call minutes
by Guy Roberts 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

The minutes from today's conf call are available here: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16025?nav=1 The main point is that by request the deadline for submission of comments has been extended to Monday 19th July. This will be your last chance to comment, so please take a look at the document and provide feedback if you wish. If possible I would like to try and stick to the target submission date of 22nd July, so assuming comments are minor I will aim for an updated doc early on the 20th July. Thanks, Guy

proposal for revised figures in Network Services Framework document
by Guy Roberts 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Attached are 3 proposed re-workings of figures 5 and 9 for the Network Services Framework document. Figure 5 has been split into 2 diagrams 5a and 5b. Figure 5a identifies the Service Plane and explains its relationship to the existing well known management, control and transport planes. It also introduces the different types of network modelling used on each plane. It also shows which parts are in-scope and which are out-of-scope for the NSF. Figure 5b shows the way that this model is intended to be used to manage Connections. Figure 9 shows a more detail on the representation of networks, in particular how STPs connect Networks. Any feedback is appreciated. Guy
