OpenNSA with NSI2 up at nsi.nordu.net
by Henrik Thostrup Jensen 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi (since we don't have an NSI implementors list) So, better late than never. But OpenNSA should support NSI2 more or less now. I have an instance up and running for testing: URL: http://nsi.nordu.net:9080/NSI/services/CS2 Network: nordu.net:2012:ets Ports: bi-ps bi-nordu-netherlight bi-nordu-uvalight All ports should accept (and require) labels like this: <labels> <attribute targetNamespace="http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/ethernet#" type="vlan"> <value>1782</value> </attribute> </labels> Though the targetNamespace might be optional. VLAN range 1780-1783 is accepted. It is possible to specify candiates like source vlan 1781, dest vlan 1780-1783 etc. It isn't hooked up to any hardware just yet (TLS will also have to be enabled for that). If you have a client, feel free to give it a whirl. Please let me know of any result, especially if something does not work. Known issues: Query is not implemented (yet). Aggregation does not work (path finding with labels not implemented yet). No modify (don't expect this any time soon). Request with label ranges will fail with cannot connect STP to itself if port and ranges are the same (label support isn't quite implemented everywhere yet). Best regards, Henrik Henrik Thostrup Jensen <htj at nordu.net> Software Developer, NORDUnet

Query request
by Jeroen van der Ham 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi, While thinking about a demonstration scenario for SC, we came upon an interesting use-case for the query command. We are trying to plan workflows on the infrastructure, depending on availability. For that it would actually be useful to know not only if a certain resource is in use, but also when it could become available again. Would it be possible to add capabilities for the query command to provide something like that? Jeroen.

NSI tutorial in january
by Jerry Sobieski 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi all- I want to propose a "hands on" NSI v2 tutorial for the Techs In Paradise (TIP) 2013 meeting in Honolulu in mid January. I want to present NSI overall as the primary focus of the tutorial (not just v2 features.). Of course this will include the framework, the protocol, some internals, tools, scripting, topology development, etc. We will use v2 as the base for exercises - v2 should be fairly well developed by then. I want to utilize the AutomatedGOLE Facility for the exercises. I would also expect this will include some NML material as well. As TIP will be attended primarily by network engineers, I will focus the tutorial primarily towards service engineering and deployment issues. This tutorial will incur a fair amount of organization and prep work (class sizes, program planning, exercise development and testing, etc) I would like to hear of anyone who would be interested in helping to develop and/or present this tutorial. But I don't think it will be a lot of work at the venue - we already have done some of these in smaller settings. I expect the tutorial to be at least 4 hours (half day) - perhaps a full day (6 hours) if we think we can not overwhelm attendees. Please let me know if you are interested in helping present such a tutorial or if you have ideas/suggestions for how we should frame it - and would be willing to sacrifice a day in Hawaii to teach folks about NSI:-) We have only a short time to get the proposal in, so let me know asap. Thanks Jerry
