#opendaylight-intern: better host tracker interns

Meeting summary

1. models (colindixon, 20:22:40)
   1. there’s a question of where the model should go: (1) it’s own thing, i.e., host-tracker/hosts, (2) in inventory, i.e., opendaylight-inventory:hosts, (3) as something that dangles off of node connectors, (4) as an augmentation of node (colindixon, 20:24:58)
   2. ed points out that hosts might be better living in the topology space, rather than inventory space (colindixon, 20:25:14)
   3. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#page-107 (edwarnicke, 20:25:34)
   4. colin says what we really want is for some nodes to be unmanaged and to have some unmanaged nodes be hosts, but that’s hard-ish to do in yang (colindixon, 20:26:52)
   5. ed responsds that maybe using the when clause would help get you there (colindixon, 20:27:11)
   6. https://github.com/nilok/betterhosttracker/blob/master/mdhosttracker/mdhosttracker/implementation/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/mdhosttracker/plugin/internal/MdHostTrackerImpl.java (djx, 21:04:07)
   7. https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/controller/job/controller-merge/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/apidocs/org/opendaylight/controller/hosttracker/IfIptoHost.html (colindixon, 21:10:59)
   8. ACTION: colindixon to propose a set of APIs in IfIptoHost that we will support and to try to find out if people are using the others (colindixon, 21:15:28)
   9. https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/controller/job/controller-merge/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/apidocs/org/opendaylight/controller/hosttracker/IfIptoHost.html (colindixon, 21:15:37)
   10. https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/9412/ (colindixon, 21:35:47)
   
   
2. conclusions (colindixon, 21:58:54)
   1. the current plan is to make hosts an augmentation of the node in topology (colindixon, 21:59:12)
   2. the other current plan is to support (at least some of) the IfIptoHost interface (colindixon, 21:59:31)
   3. we are not going support the IHostFinder interface (which is really an interface to ArpHandler) (colindixon, 22:01:07)
