Ammended minutes:


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).
-Dimitra: ghpn should open its consideration to wider user communities (not only lambda service users) and look at scaling capabilities and interfacing issues of different technologies. i.e. the heterogenity cosiderations should also extend to mobile/wireless domains.
- 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.
