Hi Harald et. al., thanks for your talk today at RIPE #64. I found some minor things regarding the transceivers where I would be more precise. I would change Chapter 3 -Physical Wishes: ".... and optical power metering in optical ports" to "optical ports have to support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) / Digital Monitoring Interface (DMI). Chapter 5.2 - Operational Monitoring: "if optic, then DOM support is mandatory" to "if optic, than DDM / DMI support is mandatory with an update frequency of 60 seconds or less and it should be possible to force an update by the user for the following metrics:" Furthermore you can add the following paragraph to Chapter 5.2 (this will give you more flexibility in the usage of different / newer types of transceivers): "Each measured DDM / DMI value can also be classified in "good" , "critical" and "bad". This classification is performed with the warning and alarm threshold of each single metric type. To define the classification by the Switch-OS the thresholds HAVE TO be taken from the pluggable module (transceiver) itself and NOT programmed / coded in the Switch-OS." [comment: the classification "good", "ciritical" and "bad" came out of my mind and do not follow any standards, etc. General speaking the classification is mainly used to decide if a log-event is raised/triggered or not by the Switch-OS] Thomas CTO Flexoptix
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: eix-wg-bounces@ripe.net [mailto:eix-wg-bounces@ripe.net] Im Auftrag von Harald Michl Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5. April 2012 00:21 An: eix-wg@ripe.net Betreff: [eix-wg] New version of EIX-wishlist available
Dear EIX-WG members,
A small group of individuals began to generate a new version of the "EIX Switch Wish List". The draft is now available at
http://homepage.univie.ac.at/~hm/eix-wishlist-DRAFT.pdf
We'd like to make now a step to version 4.0.0. So if you find any mistakes, please tell us by April 20th (last day of RIPE64 in Ljubljana) - if you like to add or change something (content/structure) we'd favour to make that in a version 4.0.1.
Version 4.0.0 will be only one step - as soon as it is published on the eix-wg webspace we can continue to adopt it according to actual needs and generate a new version.
kind regards Martin Pels, Mike Hughes and Harald Michl
