NORDUnet topology changes
by John MacAuley 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Would love to see this as a formal contribution instead of seeing it in slides, but I know how busy everyone is implementing. I will reserve a full out rant for a later point in time ;-) These points on topology were part of a presentation by Lars Fisher today at Caltech. I can see why the discussion today was not constructive. Can we assume a formal contribution from the r107 consortium at some point? I really would like to avoid putting any more effort into this myself if any decisions are going to be ignored. Changes to the NSI-NML extension • Restrict topology ids and port ids, such that topology ids are always a prefix of the port name • Add topology reachability and cost elements. • (NSA peering entry becomes redundant and can be removed) Further suggestions • Limit prefix matching to one level. • Restrict URI naming • Remove the year/date constraint in ORGID for URNs. Still a few outstanding issues John

SURFnet review of NSI CS WSDL r116
by Hans Trompert 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, We at SURFnet have reviewed version r116 of the NSI CS WSDL and are confident that this version meets all our current needs to be deployed in the different, and often overlapping, collaborations that we are a part of. I hope that this version, or one with minimal changes to it, can be declared the final version for NSI CS 2.0 during the first upcoming NSI WG conference call. Cheers, HansT.

STP Identifier
by John MacAuley 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Peoples, While the discussion over opaqueness occurs on a separate thread I though I would communicate what I have done for the final version of the NSI CSv2. <xsd:complexType name="StpType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="networkId" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="stpId" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> I defined a single string STP identifier as specified by Jeroen in his NSI-EXT documentation. I have also included a separate networkId in the request to allow for routing by network only. The only additional thought I have is to make the networkId optional so if at some point in the future we decide to allow parsing of the stpId for the networkId, the individual networkId field will no longer be required.
