Hi Rob- Glad to see you are on this list. FYI, the research group meeting is scheduled for Friday 0900 - 1130 Beijing time. Meetings are in general audiocast with jabber feedback channels so you are welcome to listen and participate if you'd like. See http://www.ietf.org/meeting/79/remote-participation.html. In fact, modulo the chairs' approval, I believe it is not too late to request agenda time for yourself and webex is available for remote presentation. --aaron On 11/9/10 1:00 AM, Rob Sherwood wrote:
Hello, Apologies that I was not able to attend the working group meeting, but thanks for the interest on FlowVisor. I flipped through the slides at http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/79/slides/VNRG-0.pdf and at least from the slides (I'm not sure how the presentation/discussion about these slides went) I think there might be a few things that need clarification: In most of the flowvisor literature, we're very careful to describe this as "network *slicing*" as opposed to "network virtualization". The key differences (as brought out in the slides) is that current, FlowVisor does not support: - two slices controlling the same virtual address space (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24) but the flowvisor rewriting them to different physical addresses - network topologies that are independent of the physical topology (currently FlowVisor is restricted to subsets of the physical topology) Both of these points are limits of the current implementation, but not of the design, and my thoughts for the future are to take FV towards implementing these points. If anyone is interested in learning more about FlowVisor or its deployments as part of GENI, please let me know. Thanks again for the interest, - Rob .
