[Fiware-streaming] Streaming GE

[Mischler Denis]

Federico, 
Please give a look to http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.Epic.Stream-oriented.ManagementMonitoring 
I extended Monitoring to Manage and Monitor and included the Sw Defined Netw approache in there.

Dear Denis,
I am not bringing this to the discussion in the call, since I was not
involved so far and it would be rather awkward to step-in directly.

Regarding the support to QoS of the streaming, it may be worth to
mention Software Defined Networks approaches (e.g. OpenFlow). It is true
that this is not yet a reality in backbones (btw Geant is already
working on it), but this applies in many cases also to more basic
functionalities we assume to rely on today (telcos have old equipments
and they are not always eager to invest on replacing them), for example,
when you send a multi-cast packet, in some point moving from a network
to another you need specific routing devices supporting the handover of
the multi-cast between the two networks; if the second network does not
support it (which often happens), basically it is converted the
streaming unicast for that network... not very efficient for sure :)

So it may be worth to understand what SDN approaches may overcome in
this respect.

Please feel free to do whatever you feel with this comment :)

Best,
Federico
