Please find below summary notes of the 3/2/2015 call.

Participants: Tim Hinrichs, Dirk Kutcher, Eric Voit, JF Tremblay, Marc Blanchet, Michael Scharf, Tina Tsou, Benoit Claise, Mehmet Ersue, Georgios Karagiannis, Will Liu, Sue Harris, Andrew Qu, Luis Contreras, Dan Romascanu

1.       Open Source - Congress

*         Presentation by Tim

*         Domain agnostic policy system

*         OpenStack project

*         Inputs - policies, services

*         Goals - any service, any policy

*         Capabilities: monitoring (policy violations), enforcement (proactive, reactive, delegation), audit (history pertinent to policy)

*         JF: data log can be intensive, is RT possible?

*         Tim: SQL-based, enjoy 50 years  experience of SQL including optimizations, RT depends upon how often access is needed

*         JF - strategy to expose data from OS

*         Benoit - input to Congress OS primitives APIs - how to access these?

*         Tim - YANG model by delegation, creates a YANG wrapper understood by Congress

*         Eric - Congress interface synchronous, how would unidirectional notifications be supported? Does not know if available via API

*         Benoit - what are the similarities and differences between Supa and Congress

*         Tim - focus on networking

2.       I2RS

*         Presentation by Sue

*         Read draft-bogdanovic

*         3/5 interim

*         RIB, PBR concepts

*         JF - where runs the RIB?

*         Sue - explains concept of agent/client, any device that participates in routing

*         Protocol Independent Topologies - design team

*         L1, L2 - TEAS

*         Clemm - multi-layer model

*         How are PBR - PITs related

*         If there is a PRB - that provides additional information

*         Georgios - I2RS would not interact with the forwarding plan? Is this not a charter contradiction?

*         Sue - everything in the RTG area - matter of interpretation

*         RTG WG - routing policies

*         Georgios - what about generic models that can be used in other areas?

*         Sue - all SUPA examples are routing oriented, exception IPSEC

*         Dan - is the L3 Layer mandatory

*         Sue - no, if you can describe mapping of services directly in layer 2, than RTG (IETF) needs not necessarily be involved

3.       Gap analysis

*         Tina - need contribution and continue discussion on the list

*         The added value is the network layer view vs. device layer approach of other WGs

*         Next meeting - I2NSF (Linda) and gap analysis for most of the time

*         Need contributions for the poster before the end of the week
