RSpecs: Manifests: Include more info

[ahelsing@bbn.com]

There is other information you could convey in a manifest RSpec. It would be nice.

• Node location
• Interface MAC address
• Interface IP, netmask, type
• Link->property, link type

Ilia says most of these are not available at the AM (or are reported elsewhere).

Using version "ORCA Dungeness: v.4.0-SNAPSHOT.build-5468" on the NICTA rack was able to verify that the manifest now shows " Location", "MAC address", "Interface IP", "netmask", and "type":

<location country="Unspecified" latitude="-33.89533" longitude="151.19708"/>    
...

<interface client_id="VM-3:if0" mac_address="fe:16:3e:00:24:8a">      
<ip address="172.16.1.3" netmask="255.255.255.0" type="ipv4"/>      
</interface>    
...

Did not find "Link->property" , and "link type" information.

Ilia would like to know what we expect to find in the link property and type. Aaron??

A sample link property from a manifest:

<property capacity="100" dest_id="ig-gpo1:if0" latency="0" packet_loss="0" source_id="pg-utah1:if0"/>

Note that capacity default units are kbps.

I wouldn't worry about link type, unless you want to make it meaningful for you.

Using 'ORCA Dungeness: v.4.0-SNAPSHOT.build-5495' on the University of Houston aggregate was able to verify that the manifest now includes:

<location country="Unspecified" latitude="29.72327" longitude="-95.34269"/>    
...
<interface client_id="VM-1:if0" mac_address="fe:16:3e:00:68:41">      
<ip address="172.16.1.1" netmask="255.255.255.0" type="ipv4"/>      
</interface>

There are still no link properties. Ticket remains open for link properties request.
