OK, so it only took me a few hours to figure out that this doc was
actually posted on this list back in October (yikes!).

See attached. I wonder if we actually need an RFC if there's already a
sufficient tech report in this space? If we do, then I would nominate
Mosharaf to lead the effort (if of interest) ;-)

Hi Martin,

I believe you would be interested in the survey we have put together recently. You can find the technical report here: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/research/tr/2008/CS-2008-25.pdf. Any comment, critique will be very much appreciated.

And I'd be glad to contribute in the compilation of a formal problem statement for NVRG.

Btw, I was wondering whether there is anything formally named IRTF NVRG (administratively speaking) ?

Dear all,

Some words on what are the next steps IMO:

- I'm about to compile a problem statement for Network Virtualization Research Group. This draft should be a write-up containing some clarification of terminology and a sketch of the problem space the NVRG would tackle.
- Planning a new meeting at the upcoming IETF meeting in Minneapolis, if people are interested to join. Some information about the upcoming IETF meeting: http://www.ietf.org/meetings/73/

Let me know if you're interest in contributing.

 Martin
