Jerry, Jeroen,

I am a little confused about the names within the topology files.  I thought we would be using the standard naming schemes we decided upon in Salt Lake City.  For example, we have a network named "http://www.glif.is/working-groups/tech/dtox#Curacao" when we agreed they would be named using the URN format "urn:ogf:network:nsnetwork: Curacao".  Similarly, STPs should be named "urn:ogf:network:stp:Curacao:C1" and I would recommend naming NSAs using the format "urn:ogf:network:nsa:Curacao-AutoBAHN" or maybe "urn:ogf:network:nsa:Curacao:Curacao-AutoBAHN" for completeness.  We would therefore get the following for an NSNetwork 

    <owl:NamedIndividual rdf:about="urn:ogf:network:nsnetwork: Curacao">
        <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.glif.is/working-groups/tech/dtox#NSNetwork"/>
        <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">Position : [3690,102]</rdfs:comment>
        <hasSTP rdf:resource="urn:ogf:network:stp:Curacao:C1"/>
        <hasSTP rdf:resource="urn:ogf:network:stp:Curacao:C2"/>
        <hasSTP rdf:resource="urn:ogf:network:stp:Curacao:C3"/>
        <hasSTP rdf:resource="urn:ogf:network:stp:Curacao:C4"/>
        <managedBy rdf:resource="urn:ogf:network:nsa:Curacao:Curacao-AutoBAHN"/>
    </owl:NamedIndividual>

I think this makes it much clearer as to the values someone should use within their requests since it now matches the defined formats for the protocol elements.

Thank you,
John.

The mapping is done by inserting the string representing the internal port into the "mapsTo" field of the corresponding STP.   A reverse relation should be provided mapping the internal port to the STP.   Each NSA/network must do this for every STP in their assigned network.

The only requirement on internal topology is that the STPs defined in the inter-domain topology must map to internal ports with the following characteristics:  a) 1000 megabits/second max capacity, and b) untagged.
