Re: [nvrg-bof] poll on charter focus - RESPONSES DUE OCT 23

[Xavier Hesselbach Serra <xavierh at entel.upc.edu>]

Dear Joe, all,

   our team is interested in virtual networks,
but not in virtualization of systems.

   We are currently involved in a project called
Manticore (some of you probably know it):
 http://www.i2cat.net/en/projecte/manticore-1

From this project, we can see some aspects that
in our opinion need an standardization:

   - There is a problem when different vendor devices
should be in the same virtual network: API or protocol
definition required, in a similar way that SMTP does, but
now considering the middleware.
   - There is a problem in the interoperatibility between
virtual networks: Routing, addressing, QoS parameters, etc.

   We are very interested in participate actively, but we
don't see clearly how. We belong to this distribution list
since summer 2008, and we are progressing too slowly. How
can we (all) boost the target and the work plan ?

   Hope it can be useful.
     Best regards,

       Xavier and Felipe,
