[Nsi-wg] Tips on Topology

[Jerry Sobieski]

A few notes on the topology distribution and importing process:

First/****>>>*/You need to send me your csProviderEndpoint for your NSA 
and I will insert it into the NSA object for your network in the global 
topo file.  This way everyone will get it.

For Rio, I am being very constraining on topology.   This is necessary 
to make sure every NSA sees the same topology, and so that where 
necessary we can easily assign any NSA to any of the test networks, and 
so we can minimize incidental changes that don't address Rio.   So 
please bear with me on this for Rio.


Each implementation will need to define their internal topology.   I do 
not need to see that.  And it need not be in rdf/owl...(It is possible 
to do so if you choose.)

You need to define the "mapsTo" relations for STPs 1 and 4 in your 
respective network.  I do not need to see this either as this is really 
intra-domain information.   This mapsTo relation identifies the physical 
port in your internal topology that corresponds to the NSI STP.  It 
should use a form that is recognized by your internal NRM and provides 
all the information the NRM will need to use that port in the 
provisioning process.

You are welcome to modify or amend the topo file as you see fit.  But 
you are not allowed change the fundamental model it describes.   I will 
maintain a base global topology file.  If there are features you think 
will be required or desired by all networks, please let me know.

Thanks to all for your patience as we slog though these topology issues.
