[Nsi-wg] GLIF Demo

[Jerry Sobieski]

Hi all-

I would like to formally propose that we do a reprise NSI and Automated 
GOLE interop demonstration we did last year with a similar effort this 
fall for the GLIF meeting in October.    As always, demos are a lot of 
work, but I believe we need to cap the efforts over this past year with 
an appropriate public display for both NSI evolution and the enhanced 
scope and reach of the AutomatedGOLE architecture.    If anyone objects, 
please send me a note asap.  As always, we will be flexible in the 
planning details, but we need to make the commitment now if we wish to 
have the facilities we need in October.

Thanks
Jerry

Here is the proposed demo description:

Plugfest 2 "Windy City" - NSI v2.0 First Look + GLIF Automated GOLE 
Pilot Project.

This demonstration will provide an alpha test of the newly minted OGF 
NSI version 2.0 protocols utilizing an expanded global Automated GOLE 
testbed facility.   As a reprise to the successful NSI "Plugfest Rio" 
demonstrations at GLIF 2011 Rio de Janiero, the Plugfest Windy City 
demonstration is intended to show new features of NSI v2.0 as well as 
interoperability among numerous NSI implementations.   The 
demonstrations will include a functional interoperability matrix that 
the NSI developers will be exercising.   And some of the subtle but very 
important new features of NSI v2 will be highlighted and explained with 
informal presentations and demos - features such as enhanced topology 
management, sophisticated path planning, ease of use, versioning, 
authorization, and many more.    You will have an opportunity to talk to 
the NSI development experts and get the low down and dirty straight from 
the guys (and gals) in the software development trenches.   No hidden 
wires, and no nets.
