[Ofmfwg] Zephyr and NetworkX fabric object description slides

[Herrell, Russ W (Senior System Architect)]

As far as documents concerning the OFMF architecture we can generalize as appropriate.
These slides are specifically about the PoC work that is underway specifically for the Gen-Z PoC demo.
I don’t really care if we call it an Agent or a Provider….  We originally pitched it as a provider and if people want to go back to that term I’ll make the change.
We can bring that up in Wednesday’s meeting…

Good stuff!
One or two smallish comments:
-        If we really want this to be a diagram of the OFMF structure, then the ‘agent’ and everything below it needs to be generalized.  We’re tiptoeing around Gen-Z as the Strawman fabric.  I think we’d rather not inadvertently fall into the ‘OFMF as a Service for Gen-Z’ trap, and the best way to do that is to a) keep reminding ourselves that Gen-Z is the strawman and b) find a second fabric with which to work.
-        Personally, I would be much happier if we replaced ‘agent’ with ‘provider’, since that reinforces the parallels with e.g. libfabric.  There’s a certain poetry in having the OFMF provide services to a Fabric Provider.

In today’s meeting, we reviewed and corrected the annotated NetworkX and Zephyr configuration descriptions of a basic Gen-Z node and links on the fabric.

Hopefully I have updated them with the corrections Jim walked us through today.
Jim, if I got anything wrong, just let us all know.

And thanks to Richelle for getting another github repo for the Agent installed under the OFMFWG tree during the meeting.
I actually have it up and running already (surprise!) ….
Just FYI,  Since we decided (just today) to make the agent hardcode port 5050 rather than 5000 I had to update my copy of setup.sh in the agent directory to pass in the different port number.
