The current state of the parallelization draft (it's currently stable with only one pending issue and also ask acceptance as a wg item). 2. The currest state of the model extension draft and finalization. The plan is to make final adjustments based on the meeting's feedback and produce the final document for LC right after the meeting. So, I guess I'll need about 5-10' for the parallelization and another 5-10' for the model.

For people who cant make it for bits and bites, we'll have a shorter preview at the meeting's tail end. The theme will constitute of three ingredients - all demonstrating the versatility of using ForCES in all 3 aspects of network programmability: a) Open Network Devices. We will demonstrate a variety of open datapaths running ForCES: These include: - physical machines with Linux - VMs using KVM - Cumulus Networks Open Network Devices (Broadcom ASIC based) b)Open Network Functions. These include a variety of ForCES LFBs: - a variety of datapath LFBs needed for creating a PGW datapath - a management LFB that is used to describe VMs - a set of general purpose LFBs (which are available on all network devices): *switching/bridging (L2 FDB, L2 bridge ports, L2 Vlan filtering) *physical/virtual ports (wide range: physical, tunnels like vxlan, to simple tuntap on Linux etc) *IP address LFB c) Open Network Services. These will be services and apps utilizing the network functions above. At the moment on the list (it may grow) are: * illustration of PGW control setting of the various LFBs for a UE * illustration of booting and managing VM lifecyles for virtual FEs/CEs * A CLI app at the controller controlling and managing all aspects of the different Network Devices as well as monitoring them. I should point out that demonstrating a CLI is boring - wish we could dazzle you with flashing lights on a GUI - but we had a very short period to put all of this together; the purpose of the CLI is to illustrates the power of ForCES being agnostic to the underlying infrastructure as long as one defines an XML, using the ForCES language, for an arbitrary network function. Essentially we have a consistent API _defined by the XML_ for the Control Abstraction Layer (CAL) etc. Hope to see you there! cheers, jamal
