[Nsi-wg] stp proposal

[Jerry Sobieski]

A Reservation Request would describe a connection path consisting of a 
series of "hops" of the following form:
( sourceSTPreference, sinkSTPreference )

This form will be used for the SourceSTP, DestSTP, and ERO hops in the 
path object.

And each of those STP references are of the form:
( Topology ID, Port ID )  or  ( topology ID, port ID, type-value1, 
type-value2, .. , type-valueN )

So an example path object for a reservation might be as follows:
_wsdl path:_
SourceSTP - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2012", 
sourcePort="CPH-AMS-1-2" ),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2012", 
sinkPort="CPH-NYC-0-1" )
ERO1      - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:netherlight:2012", 
sourcePort="CHI-AMS-x" ),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:netherlight:2012", 
sinkPort="CHI-AMS-r" )
ERO2      - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:starlight:2012", 
sourcePort="uslhcnet-out"),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:starlight:2012", 
sinkPort="uslhcnet-in" )
DestSTP   - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:esnet:2012", 
sourcePort="LBL-1-2-xmit"    ),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:esnet:2012", 
sinkPort="LBL-1-2-recv" )


I suggest an "STP reference" for either the source or sink STP could be:
topologyid="urn:ogf:network:uva:2012",  port="...:ge-0-1", 
vlan=(1-100,105-109,1780-1783) .

Thus the path object above could be:
SourceSTP - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2012", 
sourcePort="CPH-AMS-1-2", vlan=1780-1783 ),
             ( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2012", 
sinkPort="CPH-NYC-0-1",   vlan=1-100 )
ERO1      - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:netherlight:2012", 
sourcePort="CHI-AMS-x" ),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:netherlight:2012", 
sinkPort="CHI-AMS-r" )
ERO2      - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:starlight:2012", 
sourcePort="uslhcnet-out"),( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:starlight:2012", 
sinkPort="uslhcnet-in" )
DestSTP   - ( sourceTopo="urn:ogf:network:esnet:2012", 
sourcePort="LBL-1-2-xmit", vlan=( 1780,1782,1783 ) ),
             ( sinkTopo="urn:ogf:network:esnet:2012", 
sinkPort="LBL-1-2-recv", vlan=( 1780,1782,1783 )  )

(Note: I use short names for ports instead of urns just for example 
convenience...they could be urns also.)
