#opendaylight-nic: ONF NBI Session 1

Meeting summary

1. 1. DaveL: intent is meant to be the "most" northbound interface (A true north bound interface? TNBI?) (tbachman, 19:32:19)
   2. DaveL: now is a unique opportunity to get broad collaboration on a intent and if we don't have an urgent response we may miss the opportunity (tbachman, 19:32:27)
   3. DaveL: need intent on at least two controllers to start snow ball effect. (tbachman, 19:32:40)
   4. Pascal (MSFT): there is a thin SDN model and a thick SDN model. The difference is the separation of a "service" component from a low level mediation layer. Vendors are deploying both models today (tbachman, 19:32:49)
   5. (commentary from david: think it makes sense to have the same intent "syntax" in support of an abstract intent and a precise intent [mediation]) (tbachman, 19:32:59)
   6. irc://weber.freenode.net:6697/#info if an intent implementation will be over multiple domains (where there is a separate controller per domain) the goal would be to send the complete intent to each controller. In order to enable this each controller needs to be able to know what part of the intent they need to provide as well as know which "end points" it needs to use as an interconnect to another domain. (dbainbri, 19:35:38)

(dbainbri, 19:35:54)
   8. Does this mean there is somewhere a registry of both EP to controller and for each controller some way to lookup to which port the controller should use for the inter-connect? (dbainbri, 19:36:52)
