I almost forgot the most important part - I think the contents of the master.xml is actually incorrect. We are basing everything off of topology identifiers in the current master.xml when we should be basing it off of NSA identifiers.
NSA id is definitely better than topology id here. But do we really need any of the ids? The NSA id is contained in the document.
Also, the NSA is the root element of our topology file and we should be able to have multiple topologies in a single NSA element.
Did you read the security stuff I wrote (it does not exlucde this option, but there are some limitations except if come up with an alternative security model - and we really need one).
Actually, what the master.xml file should contain is the list of discovery interface for all NSA that would allow us to bootstrap the network.
But we already have a discovery service :-). Our current topology service is really a discovery service with a topology crammed inside it. But could we focus on getting a proper topology model first. Best regards, Henrik Henrik Thostrup Jensen <htj at nordu.net> Software Developer, NORDUnet
