Hi all- I want to apprise everyone of the successful NSI and AutomatedGOLE demos that took place last week at Supercomputing in Salt Lake City. The demos consisted of deployments of NSI v2 into the Automated GOLE fabric. We unfortunately did not have all the NSI implementations at v2 yet, which posed a technical challenge to get v1 and v2 implementations to interoperate. But as noted below, folks figured out how to address the issue and we were able to get v1 and v2 to co-exist! Another bright spot: we had OSCARS active in the mix for the first time and running v2 (!) ... This is a great new capability for both the OSCARS user community and the NSI community. The demos all went exceedingly well - not without challenges - but the problems were resolved and the demonstrations were showed to numerous folks. I would like to thank especially Tomohiro Kudoh and the team at AIST for providing a v1-v2 translation capability in GLAMBDA-A that made it possible for the AutoGOLE to run in mixed mode. And I would also like to recognize Jeroen van der Ham at University of Amsterdam for his efforts in translating and tweeking topologies in the new N3 format for the networks involved. Jeroen was also responsible for adapting the automated connection scheduler to v2. I also want everyone to recognize generally the effort the v2 implementation required. While there is much work still ahead to refine the v2 implementations, this was a mammoth effort with a very short timeline to get v2 implemented in time for this string of demos this fall. So thank you all! And congratulations for another successful milestone and demonstration! Best regards to all! Jerry
