• We quickly went through the status update.

• We utilized our rest of the time for technical discussion around the approach which we are currently taking.

• The discussion turned out to be very useful as it helped clear some critical points for us. Below are some quick updates on the technical discussion that happened.

  1. NETCONF provider should work independently of ONOS.
  2. Netconf as a protocol is stateless. But Netconf provider will not be stateless.
  3. As thought earlier, ONOS will not make a request to NETCONF Provider, instead provider should use ONOS API(‘onos-topo-cfg’ API.) to get the devices list and query those devices by itself.
  4. NETCONF Provider will have its own store to save the NETCONF related details for each device
  5. NETCONF Provider store is an in-memory storage and no need of external Storage system, if needed we can save in to ONOS Store
  6. While Marc was happy with the amount of effort put so far, he helped us set the priority  by putting parsing as a less important thing as of today. Once the architecture is in place, we can discuss around the various coding aspects.
  7. When required ONOS will request for NETCONF details of devices and NETCONF Provider will respond from its memory / from Device

• Virtual Router is not yet ready for us to work. Marc has someone who has started working on it and we can expect it to get done soon.

• Instead of a word document shared on mail, we should start putting in to wiki for a wider audience to look at it and provide inputs.

• Share the document/concerns to ONOS community on ONOS-Dev / ONOS-Discuss mailing lists

• Next week we will have technical call/discussion with Marc with frequency more than once a week. In the week after that(as Marc is busy with conference) we will send a mail to Marc for any needed update and based on Marc’s availability , Kapil can reach out to Marc or Marc will respond on mail with updates. 

• Tom extended his help with access to a virtual router/switch.
