5. MANTICORE II goals Allow a network provider to offer its routing gear as infrastructure as a service (IaaS)‏ –This means a network provider can give permissions to an external party to control one or more of their router(s) for a period of time as if they were owning them Provide an IP Network Service that helps users create and configure one or more IP networks with the routers they got (as IaaS) from one or more network providers –This IP Network Service will assist in configuring the IP Network topology, addressing, internal and external routing, export routing policies to RIPE database, firewalls, creating VPNs (either immediate or in advance)‏ The scope of the project is to build a system that can be deployed on operational networks and used in production by real life users –As part of the project activities MANTICORE II will be deployed and tested over HEAnet, NORDUnet and redIRIS 5

6. Parallel networks sharing the same substrate Physical Router Router Instance (may be a physical router)‏ Physical Link User Site Each user’s IP network is represented by a different color Each router instance can be temporarily owned by a different user (router instances offered as IaaS)‏ IP Networks can be made of router instances from different providers 6 Other user’s IP Network or the Internet Logical Link (may be a full physical link)‏

16. Developement Methodology: Scrum User/Costumer requirements are written as user stories by the product owner –The set of user stories are the product backlog (i.e. All that has to be done)‏ Scrum master and team members select a subset of this user stories, that have to be implemented during a short period of time –These short implementation phases are called sprints. Duration: 4 weeks. The user stories to be implemented in the sprint are the sprint backlog. User stories in the sprint are broken down into tasks and its effort is estimated. When the sprint finishes, the team makes a demo of the resulting work to the customers –Review meeting to get feedback and maybe refine some existing user stories or elaborate new ones. 16
