[GHPN-WG] Minutes of OGF23 meetings

[Freek Dijkstra]

Grid High Performance Networking RG (OGF23)
-------------------------------------------

Note-takers: Jeroen van der Ham and Freek Dijkstra

Agenda:
- Phosphorus - Sergi Figuerola (i2CAT)
- Harmony Demonstration - Joan Antoni García (i2CAT)
- Future research topics discussion

No notes on the presentations -- hopefully gridforge is up again, and 
the slides can be uploaded.

Harmony is the software developed in Phosphorus WP1.
Joan showed the GUI, and created connections between Spain and Germany 
and between Spain and Canada.


Cees de Laat initiated a discussion on the future research topics.
There are 4 BOFS in Infrastructure at this OGF. Apparently, networking 
is moving from research to work group. This is a success for the GHPN. 
The GHPN should (re)consider its scope.

Suggestions:

- Addressing and naming (in the demo, private IPv4 addresses were used 
for both. NDL and NML use URI and URNs).
- Franco Travostino: Mobile networks. IETF is working on this, but on 
the other hand OGF would have different use-cases.
- Inder Monga: Multi-point to multi-point network services instead of 
point-to-point links. Cees de Laat gives a short example were the order 
of two path requests matters if the request is successful or not. The 
UNI needs to handle combined requests (asking for multiple links in the 
same request).

Cees proposes to have a mini-workshop at one of the next GHPN meetings
to see which tracks have the interest in the community.
