Handle different capacity units at ExoGENI

[ahelsing]

At ExoGENI, capacity is in bps. Everywhere else it is in kbps.

Somehow handle this in stitcher.

Perhaps stitcher can edit the capacity attributes on the right pieces of the request rspec before submitting to EG based AMs.

Luisa says:

Having different properties seems to work.  Using the following capacities:

  <link client_id="link-eggpo-ig">
    <component_manager
name="urn:publicid:IDN+exogeni.net:bbnvmsite+authority+am"/>
    <interface_ref client_id="eg-gpo:if0"/>
    <property source_id="eg-gpo:if0" dest_id="ig-rut:if0"
capacity="100000000"/>
    <component_manager
name="urn:publicid:IDN+instageni.rutgers.edu+authority+cm"/>
    <interface_ref client_id="ig-rut:if0"/>
    <property source_id="ig-rut:if0" dest_id="eg-gpo:if0"
capacity="100000"/>
  </link>

I am able to get 100 Mbps between EG GPO and Rutgers IG.

Ilya confirms they are only looking at link properties to date.

Ilya says his RSpec converter could change the units. So we'd have nothing to do except update documentation.

On 8/5 I asked Ilya:

f you can do the conversion in any place you care about the listed capacity, then we can treat it as in kbps.

While you're there if it is easy, you might put in support for units on capacity. Handle one of these: G, g, Gbps, gbps, M, M, Mbps, mbps, K, k, Kbps, kbps, B, b, bps

Or return an error if the parser can't handle the listed units.

Pinged him just now to ask for a status update.

Ilya says it is still on his list to do this, but doesn't want to touch this right now during the upgrade to Orca 5.

Ilya today seems to have an update to the converter to handle this. It handles units. If there is a conflict between the main body and the extension, it uses the main body.

Test this and then clean up the documentation.

Ilya deployed the change.
