[spb-isis] SPB interop - ottawa June 27th-1st - 303 Terry Fox Drive, 4th Floor Kanata, Ontario, Canada

[Peter Ashwood-Smith <[e-mail]>]

So based on private emails, looks like most folks will be ready by the 27th.


 

So I'm suggesting we start with Avaya/Huawei on the Monday.

Then integrate Spirent on the Tuesday.

Wednesday we'll  bring in the ALU switch.

Solant you are welcome to plug in a passive NNI anytime or just come and
capture data, whatever works for you guys.

 

To the folks that wanted to just pop in and see what were were doing, I'm
guessing the Thursday would be a good time so we can try to have a
stable-ish network for a bit of tire kicking.

 

I still have not had any feedback on a topolgy so unless somebody has
objections I'll draw up something. 

 

As I mentioned spare cables, power bars and laptops likely a good idea to
bring ;)

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

That's great, so do you guys want to tentatively set the date for June 27?
Likely setup on the Monday, do some testing on the Tuesday and teardown on
the Wednesday. Or leave up a few more days as required. 

 

Also I  currently have DC 110v only in my lab so hopefully that's ok with
everybody?

 

I have not drawn out a proposed topology, but I suppose we could sketch
something out or we can just figure it out once the equipement is here. Up
to you guys but I suppose it would be something like 10 or 11 physical
switches and probably 80 or so emulated via Spirent.

 

Oh, how are you guys at Solant making out? 

 

Peter

Thanks Edgard. Our team is working on Extended IS Reachability TLV, SPB
metric sub TLV, SPBM SI TLVs. We can provide another engineering load in the
week of June 13th.  

 

Have a great weekend.

SPB fellows

 

I'd like to announce you that today ALU and Spirent met for a first trial of
interoperability with the objective of establishing an ISIS SPB adjacency
between OmniSwitches and the Spirent Test Center equipment in the Calabasas
lab. It turns out to be very successful test for both parties.

 

ISIS Hello and LSP PDUs were exchanged, and all TLVs are working as
expected.

 

Now we are ready to meet the last week of June (2011 off course) in Ottawa
with Huawei and Avaya to demonstrate interoperability and the progress
achieved up to this time.

 

Dates and location will soon be defined and you are welcome to join us.

 

Attached are sniffer captures of the exchange.

 

About the informational draft, we believe that is it a great idea and way to
log the effort put till this moment as well as give people some good ideas
of the potential of the technology, its benefits and the open environment it
will offer.

Guys, as we start adding more equipement here, we should think about an
informational draft that describes the interop.

Be nice to have a small overview in time for Quebec. 

 

Thoughts?

 

Peter
