    5051Plan for this meeting is to bring each other up to speed on what we're doing.
     
    5657Three ways to federate.

    58 SFA only -- WSDL interface specification, you implement it. This is
     59 * SFA only -- WSDL interface specification, you implement it. This is
    5960what Enterprise GENI has done. Generated this based on the running
    6061code, but plan to go forward using the WSDL spec as the base and we'll
     
    6465Enterprise GENI is using this.

    66 SFA + geniwrapper -- includes security. Write your own back end to
     67 * SFA + geniwrapper -- includes security. Write your own back end to
    6768geniwrapper. If you've got a preexisting testbed, this is probably the
    6869fastest way to go; use the security machinery and interface spec, and
    6970have it call into your system.
    7071
    71 SFA + geniwrapper + MyPLC -- includes PlanetLab O&M machinery

    121122We need to work on attracting real users
     
    125126Let's advertise our new cluster B aggregates to those users
    126127
    127 * James Sterbenz
     128=== James Sterbenz ===
    128129
    129130Are we just adding users to have users? Are you suggesting we
    130131advertise our resources as standard PlanetLab nodes?

     151=== Guido Appenzeller ===
    151152
    152153Eventually we'd like to have something that abstracts some of the
    153154details away, a web interface, to make this all easier to deal with.

    157158Chris Tracy put up a recursive aggregate manager, this may be what you
     
    170171(or set of flat)

    172 * Guido Appenzeller
     173=== Guido Appenzeller ===
    173174
    174175Don't we need some kind of pluggable user interface to manage
    175176heterogeneous aggregates?
    176177
    177 * Larry Peterson
     178=== Larry Peterson ===
    178179
    179180That's what Chris Tracy demonstrated, this is what we need. The SFI
     
    185186We've just broken the clearinghouse model.

    189190From a usability standpoint this will be chaos. Need a single portal.

    193194There's not just one portal to the internet.
     
    196197thing, or is it a loose federation of entities?

    200201Seems to fit into GENI goals to have one centralized clearinghouse.

     203=== Larry Peterson ===
    203204
    204205What do you mean by GENI?

    208209The internet has DNS, it tells me where I can look for things

    210 * Larry Peterson

    212213we can have a root registry and if we want to kill a slice we can
     
    227228Policies will only be as sophisticated as the mechanisms.

    229 * Guido Appenzeller
     230=== Guido Appenzeller  ===
    230231
    231232We only talk with known entities. We talk to an SM / clearinghouse,
    232233not a user. A researcher hand-editing XML sounds ambitious.

    235236
    236237Writing an SM that spoke to a hererogeneous collection of aggregates
     
    250251Can somebody explain this to me?
    251252
    252 * James Sterbenz
     253=== James Sterbenz ===
    253254
    254255Because the GPO told us to.

    258259You might want dedicated bandwidth

    262263IP encapsulation is only 28 bytes, it's running over layer 2.
    263264
    264 * Guido Appenzeller
     265=== Guido Appenzeller ===
    265266
    266267We want to give people hop-by-hop layer 2 so they can put a router in
     
    268269them, not have an IP header.
    269270
    270 * Larry Peterson
     271=== Larry Peterson ===
    271272
    272273My argument is cost effectiveness. This will be a large investment of
    273274time and effort with minimal value.
    274275
    275 * Jon Turner
     276=== Jon Turner ===
    276277
    277278Both are legitimate; you can get to more places with IP, layer 2 VLANs
    278279will let you get closer to the bare network.

    280 * Guido Appenzeller
     281=== Guido Appenzeller ===
    281282
    282283Every slice must support IP fallback
    283284
    284 * Larry Peterson
     285=== Larry Peterson ===
    285286
    286287We haven't solved the problem because we still need to demux between
     
    294295fairly low on user-level tools.

    298299Once you have a stable version of SFI, I can try to make things
    299300prettier. But it doesn't make sense until SFI stabilizes.

    301 * Larry Peterson
     302=== Larry Peterson ===
    302303
    303304Look at the VINI rspec.
     
    308309Goal for SFI: readable/editable RSpecs e.g. using XSGR

    312313We have some tools that might be usable

    320321What we see as the hard part of the GUI is how to help the user if the
