RFC

• Useful references:

  https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tutorials/process/creating-internet-drafts-and-rfcs/

  As a result, we got a template in latex (overleaf) with a markdown library where we are able to write in the "RFC-specific markup"

PolKA Development

Use Case in RARE European Testbed

PolKA implementation in FreeRouter

FreeRouter Starting points

• Link to the blog (https://wiki.geant.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=148083801)
• Youtube channel with VCs (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzEhsAYKJs2qSNcjuooxCOg/videos)
• UFES:
  • install a freeRouter virtual testbed (Cristina + Rafael + Edgar Multipath + Everson Sem Fio);
  • reproduce the demo from Csaba in virtual environment (take the Csaba's demo video);
  • document the changes to integrate PolKA in the repository by checking the commits;
    • Where is the link to github ?
  • open an issue at p4lang/bmv2 to clarify the possibility of modifying the CRC custom polynomial via P4Runtime GRPC interface;
  • work with the RARE team in the RFC specification; and
  • implement a central controller (mc36 suggested to use PCEP which is perceived as IETF way to handle centralise TE).

RARE (Frederic, Csaba and Jordi):

• provide support :)
  • reproduce the demo in the RARE testbed; and (Done)
• generate the RFC initial version
  • [x] Magnos and Moisés interacts with Frederick
