A selector is formula on the contract's qualities 17:14:10 jmedved: Can you go on mute, mate, you are taking over the screen with your typing :) 17:14:28 um, that may be me scribing the meeting 17:14:52 alagalah: although you can click on dvorkinista and the big screen will be fixed on Mike 17:15:12 regardless of who is speaking 17:15:21 #info question from Jan: what does target? 17:15:48 #info mike says that the target is how the contract presents itself 17:17:03 #info is this same as label we had? 17:17:22 #info see above .... labels have been subdivided statement... 17:18:58 #info understdood 17:21:40 #info regXboi asks for the use case for a contract presenting multiple targets 17:22:03 #info dvokinista and alagalah say the use case is allowing different users to have different selectors for the same contract 17:22:19 #info regXboi says he'll think about it and scream if it doesn't make sense 17:22:33 * alagalah is scared 17:22:41 anybody else want to help scribe so I can talk more? 17:22:55 #info alagalah taking over scribing 17:23:13 regXboi: talk away, boss 17:23:15 #info jmedved continues to ask why I would need separate targets 17:23:56 #info dvorkinista says think of presenting targets for development versus test? 17:24:09 regXboi: Let me know when you want me to take over 17:24:18 jump in anytime 17:24:25 I'm used to multiple scribes 17:25:58 #info jmedved was concerned the selector with multiple targets modifying the contract. dvorkinista pointed out this doesn't change anything in the contract, its a way of selecting the contract 17:26:43 #info regXboi made an analogy of UNIX file systems. The contract is the file, the selector and targets are logical links, a way to traverse to the file 17:27:01 #info dvorkinista pointed out its a lot of like labels in gmail 17:28:38 #info Earlier on, dvorkinista pointed out that labels have subsets, Roles, Capabilities, Conditions and Qualities (missed that earlier) 17:28:56 #info s3wong asks if this makes the prior label scheme less flexible 17:29:09 #info dvorkinista said that 0.95 -> 0.96 is some renaming of things to make them clearer (ie the sub-groups above of labels) 17:29:10 #info dvorkinista says they are equivalent 17:29:33 who is speaking? 17:29:50 readams? 17:29:55 yes 17:29:57 #info readams asked a question that I couldn't pick up 17:29:59 yes 17:30:17 readams: please #info your question 17:33:21 #info Why would you want to selectively match against targets that are being *provided* as opposed to consumed 17:34:09 #info mickey_spiegel says we have to remember what provides and consumes means 17:34:32 #info so that we can add new contracts without disturbing existing contracts 17:35:52 #info readams wonders why we want this particular semantic feature (multiple contracts, multiple targets) 17:36:09 #info Example: Existing contract for http and https, now add another protocol that requires going through another appliance 17:36:26 #info dvorkinista says it allows for provision of services and combination of services qithout wondering how contracts are structured 17:36:28 #info Now add another contract with additional qualifier, without disrupting others 17:36:32 #info Service does not even need to know you are going through another appliance 17:37:57 #info jmedved wants use case/concrete examples 17:38:23 #info dvorkinista using DB cluster as an example. Shows a target for anything that wants to consume the database 17:38:47 #info alagalah is going to find a way to record video of whiteboard sessions. Cos scribing this is nigh on impossible 17:39:19 alagalah: I believe ChrisPriceAB has Google Capture turned on 17:39:43 s3wong: Capture only takes a screenshot 17:39:45 is it running? OK I'll try turn it off. I was pushing buttons 17:40:00 s3wong: I'm pretty sure it only takes a screen shot 17:40:13 alagalah: OK - not sure 17:40:31 s3wong: google on air is the only way I know to record hangouts 17:40:43 (new to hang-outs) 17:41:07 * s3wong never uses any of the Google apps next to Hangout screen 17:41:09 #info Discussion is around backup providers 17:41:31 alagalah: third party capture software? 17:41:56 regXboi: mebbe or google on air 17:41:58 Back-up providers is a usecase to demonstrate the need for the selector concept 17:42:12 alagalah: see off-line link 17:42:20 ChrisPriceAB: Want to #info that,, go for it 17:42:36 #info Back-up providers is a usecase to demonstrate the need for the selector concept 17:43:38 #info dvorkinista says basic contract is to provide a contract based on a query. 17:43:52 #info dvorkinista says basic concept is to provide a contract based on a query. 17:44:14 #info missed readams response 17:45:43 #info regXboi asks how two contracts with same set of labels get resolved ? 17:46:19 #info dvorkinista points out that target is only used for selection. It's a way of selecting multiple contracts 17:46:56 #info regXboi since targets are only used for selection, then there needs to be a discussion on contract conflict resolution 17:47:28 #info dvorkinista agreed 17:48:03 #info ChrisPriceAB wanted to know if you should have a more specific query mechanism 17:48:18 #info ChrisPriceAB in a way to avoid handling conflict resolution 17:48:32 #info dvorkinista agrees conflict resolution is important. 17:50:02 jmedved: I had some background noise (dinner delivered) .. can you #info your question please ? 17:50:19 #info jmedved buids on regXboi's question about resolution at the contract level or something else 17:50:35 #info dvorkinista says its at the rules level and not the contract level 17:50:58 regXboi: Did you get mickey_spiegel point? I have noise here 17:51:28 #info mickey_spiegel says at the end of the day, we are sending packets and rules will be selected based on the information in the packet 17:51:39 #info note: that can include prior state 17:51:49 regXboi: and wiener schnitzel ... benefit of Zurich 17:51:50 #info er... that last is my editorial note 17:51:56 #info in data plane, you determine contract based on source and destination addresses 17:52:06 wienerschnitzel... nice! 17:52:14 Can someone else take over scribing? 17:52:15 #info Anywhere where you do enforcement in the data plane, have to come up with the same answer for conflict resolution, for the same pair of source and destination addresses 17:52:18 got it 17:52:19 For last 10min ? 17:52:22 I need to eat 17:52:27 go eat - I'm on it 17:53:04 I'm eating at my tiny desk at the Radisson Zurich 17:53:04 alagalah: I'll send you the minutes link separately when I end the meeting 17:53:09 I'm here 17:53:15 I'm just knife and forking 17:53:30 better than me... lunch won't be for another 90 minutes it looks like 17:53:40 and will be continental then (i.e. cheese and crackers) :( 17:53:46 noes 17:53:50 badz 17:54:13 these time slots are lunching time in middle of country, but so be it 17:56:04 regXboi: sorry mate 17:57:19 #endmeeting
