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

[Chris Lonvick <clonvick at cisco.com>]

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
