[Nsi-wg] Topology updte

[Jerry Sobieski]

Hi all - especially the NSI Rio Plugfest participants/developers...

I have a new Plugfest Guide version 1.1 and the new Rio Ring topology 
OWL file.

Key changes:

- More participants (seven)

- The topology specification model has changed:   !!!
     -- It now has 3 new objects: "NSnetwork", "STP", and "NSA" objects. 
in addition to the previous Node, switchmatrix, and Port.
     -- The new objects correspond well to the NSI CS topology model.
     -- It separates inter-domain NSI objects, and intra-domain physical 
topology.
See plugfest guide for more details.

- The Challenge topologies have changed.
     -- All the challenges can use a single topology.  (with a minor 
caveat I need to fix).
     -- Each NSA implementation will be assigned to a particular network 
in the "Rio Ring" topology.
- The test runs are now variable depending upon which NSA is under test.
     -- The RA and PA NSAs vary and the selection of endpoints is based 
upon the test objectives and available NSAs.

The reason we made these changes was to address the test matrix 
growth.   Even though we have still an artificial data plane topology, 
we can use the real URLs to reach the NSAs where they are being 
developed.  This means one topology file will (should) suffice for all 
the tests.  But until/unless all NSAs are up and online, the testing 
will be limited.

Please note that there are some edits I still need to complete after 
discussion today on the NSI call.

Also, I still need the URL for the NSAs for OSCARS, G-Lambda(s), and 
DynamicKL.

Thanks
Jerry
