Title: RE: [nvrg-bof] MANTICORE Bar BoF after the plenary tonight?

Hi,

We've got some responses and are at table 27 at the Bishops Arms.  Halfway down Vasa(mumble, can't read it from here) street towards Central Station, on the right.

Thanks,
Chris and Linus

Hi Everyone,

I just heard about nrvg after the meeting yesterday and I'm sorry I missed
it.  Several groups have been working on MANTICORE - essentially an
Infrastructure as a Service project and we'd like to see if anyone here
would like to get together after the plenary this evening to discuss it
and to see if it is applicable to nrvg.

I've placed a copy of the kick-off meeting slides here:
   http://www.employees.org/~lonvick/manticore/manticore.ppt
Very succinctly, the goal is to allow users to create virtual networks
across a shared substrate.  For those familiar, this has been described as
an extension to the UCLP work specifically for an IP network.

As an eample, see slide 6 of the ppt and imagine that the green network
consists of a researcher at their home university with an experitment at a
remote city and data being stored at a third university.  The researcher
is capable of creating virtual routers and virtual links to form this
network with optimized parameters.  In this example, say that the links
from the experiment to the data storage may be lossy but require low
latency, and that the link from the researcher to the data store does not
require any specific latency but must not lose any packets.

If anyone is interested in discussing this, please let Linus and I know.
I have an early flight tomorrow morning but would be happy to find some
time after the plenary tonight.

Best regards,
Chris
