Status: Accepted Owner: jmacauley Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium FoundInVersion-2.0 FixedInVersion-2.0 New issue 94 by jmacauley: Simplify serviceAttributes definition. http://code.google.com/p/ogf-nsi-project/issues/detail?id=94 Current serviceAttributes definition can consist of both type/value pairs or ANY elements included from other namespaces. targetNamespace="http://schemas.ogf.org/nsi/2013/04/connection/types" <xsd:element name="serviceAttributes" type="ftypes:TypeValuePairListType" minOccurs="0" /> targetNamespace="http://schemas.ogf.org/nsi/2013/04/framework/types" <xsd:complexType name="TypeValuePairListType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="attribute" type="tns:TypeValuePairType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="TypeValuePairType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string" nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> <xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name="type" type="xsd:string" use="optional" /> <xsd:attribute name="targetNamespace" type="xsd:anyURI" use="optional" /> <xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax" /> </xsd:complexType> This allows us to specify the same thing two different ways. The example below shows how I can specify a custom attribute "sNCP" from the SURFnet namespace. <serviceAttributes> <attribute> <surf:sNCP xmlns:surf="http://schemas.surfnet.nl/nsi/2013/04/services">Protected</surf:sNCP> </attribute> <attribute type="sNCP" targetNamespace="http://schemas.surfnet.nl/nsi/2013/04/services"> <value>Protected</value> </attribute> </serviceAttributes> The proposal is to flatten the serviceAttributes to contain only the ANY structure as follows: targetNamespace="http://schemas.ogf.org/nsi/2013/04/connection/types" <xsd:element name="serviceAttributes" type="tns:ServiceAttributesType" minOccurs="0" /> <xsd:complexType name="ServiceAttributesType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax" /> </xsd:complexType> This will restrict the protocol to a singular mechanism of attribute specification. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

Issue 96 in ogf-nsi-project: Add dataPlaneStateChange notifications to QueryNotificationConfirmedType.
by ogf-nsi-project＠googlecode.com 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Status: Accepted Owner: jmacauley Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium FoundInVersion-2.0 FixedInVersion-2.0 New issue 96 by jmacauley: Add dataPlaneStateChange notifications to QueryNotificationConfirmedType. http://code.google.com/p/ogf-nsi-project/issues/detail?id=96 The current QueryNotificationConfirmedType does not return dataPlaneStateChange notifications since this information is already available in the reservation query results. Including the dataPlaneStateChange notifications would provide minimal additional value. The current QueryNotificationConfirmedType appears as follows: <xsd:complexType name="QueryNotificationConfirmedType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:element ref="tns:errorEvent" /> <xsd:element ref="tns:reserveTimeout" /> <xsd:element ref="tns:messageDeliveryTimeout" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> Feed back from design teams has indicated that for consistency they would like dataPlaneStateChange notifications to be included in the QueryNotificationConfirmedType for consistent notification behaviours. The NSI working group agreed that this change would be acceptable to provide the requested consistency. The type definition will be changed to the following: <xsd:complexType name="QueryNotificationConfirmedType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:element ref="tns:errorEvent" /> <xsd:element ref="tns:reserveTimeout" /> <xsd:element ref="tns:dataPlaneStateChange" /> <xsd:element ref="tns:messageDeliveryTimeout" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

NSIv2 interop testing
by Henrik Thostrup Jensen 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi everyone Might as well get started with this :-) I have a NSI2 provider endpoint here: http://nsidev.nordu.net:9080/NSI/services/CS2 NSA name: urn:ogf:network:nsa:northernlight It manages a network named: urn:ogf:network:northernlight It has the following ports: ps netherlight uvalight These are all bidirectional, and ethernet vlan ports. They expect a vlan type attribute with a value, which can be a range, i.e.: <sourceSTP> <networkId>urn:ogf:network:northernlight</networkId> <localId>urn:ogf:network:northernlight:ps</localId> <labels> <ns3:attribute type="vlan"> <value>2-3</value> </ns3:attribute> </labels> </sourceSTP> They support the VLANs 1780-1783, but I have a bug in the label selection, so right now you can specify whatever, but I'll get that fixed :-). There are definitely bugs in this thing, so don't be too surprised if you find something. There is also a topology resource available here: http://nsidev.nordu.net:9080/NSI/topology/northernlight.xml There are however known structural errors in this, so for now it is just for show. If anyone else has provider endpoints ready for testing, post them to mailling list or just me, and I'll give them a go :-).

01 Jul '13

All, Please find attached the service decoupling proposal discussed a couple weeks ago via e-mail. The document describes the current XSD structure and associated issues, as well as the proposed minor changes to fix the problem. I have also included the modified schema files and an example of a new reserve message. Behaviours remain the same. John

NSI CS v2.0 submission to OGF Editors
by Guy Roberts 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi All, Today I submitted the NSI CS v2.0 document to the OGF editors. The editors will read the document and at the next meeting on July 8 they will review the document and let us know if it is ready to be submitted for public comment. I expect we will get some feedback from the editors which may require some additional editing. We still have an opportunity to do some fine tuning of the document over the next few weeks, but I hope to keep any changes to a minimum. Thanks everyone for your hard work in progressing this document.
