perfsonar development work

["Michael Bischoff" <>]

(I'm not up completely to speed with LS affairs so forgive me if I make 
stupid remarks ;)

That makes sense, be can we facilitate the whole process currently? Don't we 
also need to ask
(a) service(s) to identify the network topology elements? If not the current 
structure of the
topology itself.

Through google I stumpled upon this:
http://www.ogf.org/OGF21/materials/895/topoSchema-OGF21.pdf (how much of the 
doc is still
accurate btw)

Use Case:
  A client would use a topology service to look
  up the identifier for a network element and
  then would query a lookup service using the
  identifier to find the measurements
  associated with that element.

Obtaining a topology service must also be retrieved from a LS? right?

Also level 1 ls client api seems to include eventType? is that the same as we 
are talking about?
http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/nmwg/trunk/nmwg/doc/dLS/gLS/phase_1_color.html#level1_api
Are topology elements identified by Ip adress/dns name? and is thus the (IP 
Address | Domain)
part corresponding to a topology element?

Best regards,
Michael Bischoff
