Hi all-

Attached please find the current info I have received to date regarding Rio NSI Interop participants.   We have 7 implementations that have asked to be part of this (!).   I will keep this doc updated as additional info comes in, so please let me know if information changes. I will try to put this on a wiki next week.

The recent addition of a couple new implementations means that we need to modify the previous Plugfest Guide in regard to test matrix.   And there are several other tweeks as well to the Challenges in terms of how we run them - the basic functional tests are unchanged, but how we run them will change a bit to make it easier logistically. We want to clarify and simplify the complexity of the test scenarios - particularly in 3 and 4. These tweeks will also include an enhanced topology model/description that will work better for NSI testing (it is a superset of current set of topo resources. And still uses RDF and OWL.)

I will have the updated guide available in a day or two. In the meantime, I encourage the teams to proceed with testing Challenge #1. And when you are confident that is working, move on to to Challenge #2 with *any* other teams that have completed #1 as well and are ready to do cross implementation tests. (In challenge #2, the pairing of teams was arbitrary, so feel free to test with any other implementation that is ready.)   The contact info below should allow everyone to contact each other. Also, if you are ready to do Challenge #2 with another imlementation, please post that to the list so we can see and monitor progress.

Thanks all!
Jerry

the Plugfest = Radek Krzywania

5. Status - We are almost ready for testing with other NSI implementations. We are finalising topology reading from OWL file, we are unsure how "Query" will behave at the end. For Challenges 1-3 we are mostly prepared. We still implement interfaces to see logs and event, but that mostly formal thing just to display logs with some filters.

5. Status - Please provide a brief status of your implementation.
Challenge 1 : almost provide (RA <--> PA in self)
Challenge 2 : almost provide (inter-domain RA <--> PA)
Challenge 3 : providing (alternative path)
Challenge 4 : almost acceptable query request

dynamicKL(NRM) is our own solution since 2008, now we developing of interface between dynamicKL and NSI CS protocol for interoperability according to NSI CS protocol document, there is no problem to adapt NSI protocol to dynamicKL.

And our develop plan is announce version 1.0 at the end of 4th week Aug. (maybe 26th Aug)
