Hi all-

I just circulated the most recent global NSI topology for the Supercomputing demos.

It is now time to begin testing again.   Please get started asap, and monitor the nsi-wg chat room on Skype.

For those of you with uRA clients that do not perform any segmentation, please select an aggregator NSA and begin testing to that network NSA.

For the Aggregator NSAs, please verify that you are able to interop with each other implementation, then to each network.  start with your direct data plane neighbors and work your way outward.  (TK: do you have some thoughts on this verification process...?)

I think the key issues we need to work thru are a) HTTPS interop, b) SC WSDL consistency, c) Query result consistency, and then just coordination among the whole group so we do not get too many requests interfering with one another.   All NSI implementations should be able to successfully talk to all the other implementations by now with all primitives.  

If we need additional VLANs, let me know and I can add more to the topology.

We will want to develop a looping script at some point this week or early next.  This script will issues a sequence of Reservation Requests and walk the connection(s) through their lifecycle while the viz tools track the state transitions.   This will be the fundamental demo during the conference.

We probably need some simple orchestration tools:  An end system daemon that will configure an particular  IPaddr on the VLAN subinterface when a connection is provisioned and then issue/respond to pings.  Any idle hands out there want to work on some code?

Thanks!
Jerry
