Hi NSI Developers-
We now have a modified topology that supports the NSI concepts much
better thanks to John Mac and Jeroen vdH. I am updating the
topology files and will circulate them shortly. So that everyone
understands the model, and has an example or two.
We have now seven implementations that want to participate in the
Plugfest. In order to simplify the testing, we have created a
static configuration of NSI networks and NSA assignments: We have
defined seven Networks interconnected at the data plane to form a
simple ring. We have assigned one implementation to each Network
to act as the NSA.
***---> What I need from each implementation team is the
URL for their test NSA's SOAP endpoint. Here is John Mac's example
for OpenDRAC:
I
will put these into the global Rio topology configuration
so that the URL is associated with your assigned Network
NSA. Then other NSAs can find you.
You each will need to read the Global Rio Topology OWL file into
your NSA so that your NSA knows what the rest of the world looks
like. By using this more static NSA <--> Network assignment,
we don't need to reconfigure the NSAs as much to run the tests. We
will have to generalize the tests a bit, but I think this will be
easier.
More detailed info will be circulated shortly. But please forward
this URL to me asap. THANKS!
Jerry
