| 51 | === Sliver Usage (use case 6) === |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Use case description: Find out what slivers will be affected by a maintenance or outage of some resource, and get contact information for the owners of those slivers so targeted notifications can be sent |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Use case implementation story: Aggregates collect up-to-date information about what slivers exist and what resources they have reserved (including sliver details such as expiration time), and make this information available via a local datastore. GENI trust authorities (e.g. clearinghouses) collect up-to-date information about experimenters and their contact information, and make this information available via a local datastore. Operators who want to be able to get this information run an aggregator which can query the relevant datastores (since this is an on-demand real-time query, the aggregator doesn't need to be active all the time, though it may be). The aggregator data is used to run a report listing affected experimenters and their contact info. |
