Hi
Right now we have a construction in the reserve request (and
confirmations), like hits:
<serviceType>http://services.ogf.org/nsi/2013/07/descriptions/EVTS.A-GOLE</serviceType>
<p2psrv:evts>
<capacity>200</capacity>
<directionality>Bidirectional</directionality>
<sourceSTP>
<networkId>urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2013</networkId>
<localId>urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2013:ps</localId>
</sourceSTP>
<destSTP>
<networkId>urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2013</networkId>
<localId>urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2013:uvalight</localId>
</destSTP>
<mtu>1500</mtu>
<burstsize>5000000</burstsize>
<sourceVLAN>1780</sourceVLAN>
<destVLAN>1780</destVLAN>
</p2psrv:evts>
AFAICT the serviceType and element name of the service (<p2psrv:evts>) has
the exact same purpose: To tell the NSA which type of service is
requested. Having serviceType specific to A-GOLE seems a bit weird. It is
still an EVTS service. For getting endpoints in the A-GOLE one should just
select the right STPs. AFAICT the serviceType field is completely
redundant.
