Re: [nvrg-bof] Updated charter proposal

[Mosharaf Chowdhury <mosharafkabir at gmail.com>]

Thanks Joe for providing the authoritative info on XBone.. We are trying to update the ComMag article with the XBone info before it goes to the press.. But I will certainly update the preprint(s) on my website. 

Btw, I would say that the ComMag one is basically an extended abstract of the survey with the primary objective of gaining more attention to the network virtualization movement.

Any how, as I mentioned before, we (http://netlab.cs.uwaterloo.ca/virtual) were and still are looking forward to comments/inputs from everyone, and we would like to take part in / lead! efforts regarding standardizing/structuring/creating an altogether new RFC/charter or updating the existing techreport with necessary changes (if minimal) through mutual discussions in the community.

PS - two updates to that note below:

1) a more recent version is appearing in IEEE Communications in July 2009

2) both versions still have a few bugs

a) PlanetLab is not an overlay (there are no virtual links, interfaces,
or addresses) (it should not appear in Table 1 either)

b) Table 1 incorrectly lists X-Bone as application-layer, whereas it is
network layer.

c) the appropriate reference for the X-Bone should have been:
Dynamic Internet Overlay Deployment and Management Using the X-Bone. Joe
Touch. Computer Networks, July 2001, pp. 117-135
