[Nsi-wg] Fwd: Describing Topologies

[Radek Krzywania]

Hi all,

A few questions on topology building (I am using SNE Editor for that):

-          How do we indicate end points (e.g. servers)? Is it just a Port connected to Node, it’s additional Node, or a “connectedTo” label?:

Node (GEANT) – Port (Poznan /to srv/)

Or

Node (GEANT) – Port (Poznan) – Port (Poznan srv)

Or

Node (GEANT) – Port (Poznan; connectedTo=”srv URI”)

-          According to documentation “The connectedTo statement uses the full URI of the connected port to show that it is connected to an outside Port, and uses the full identifier of that Port” – how do I know what is the URI of those ports? Should we agree between sites or is there a global register for those values?

-          What is the max/available Capacity format? Is it bits per second or bytes or Mbps, Gbps?

 

Best regards

Radek

Hello, 

Attached is a document describing how to create topology descriptions as Gerben presented last week. 

The description shows how to create these in Notation3 format, which is a very user-friendly format for writing out RDF. Numerous validators and converters to RDF/XML exist, for example: http://www.rdfabout.com/demo/validator/ 

You can also use the graphical editor at http://auto-gole.appspot.com/ 

Unfortunately I'm going to miss all the fun, because I'll be away on holiday. Some of my colleagues will monitor this list should you have any questions about the descriptions. 
Please share the finished descriptions also on this list so that we can all see who finished them, and that I can later use them. 

As a first incentive, I'm attaching the UvALight description, and I'm sure that Hans will forward the Netherlight description soon enough also. 

Jeroen.
