my first impression when i first saw this 25 years ago when we stuffed network analytics into a MIB was that
as long as you have SNMP protocol stack and RIPv2 enabled gateway you could pass traffic info from Network device to NetworkDevice. Cisco is probably the only company that picked up the ball on this concept with its own protocol IGMP consequently I havent heard about network analytics as NA r&d disappeared into Cisco private domain Given the fact that entire countries have gone dark because of what we called "network storm" now called Denial of Service does it not make sense to revive the concept of network-aware imps if for no other reason than to route traffic away from busy networks or networks burdened by DOS attack vectors.? maybe this is pipe dream but if we can somehow config network devices to become self-aware and intelligently route traffic away from heavily trafficked nodes and networks.. I could easily see these algorithms implemented by network intensive apps such as zookeeper and zookeeper under kafka Salutations to all (including dogs) WDYT?

The only significant problem I see at this point is growing the size and diversity of the user and development community. Our last new committer was a year ago and just saw only two new subscribers to the dev list in our last reporting period. I think it is a good time to bring on a new mentor for Edgent to help kick start community growth. Any interest? At Apachecon this week there are a couple of talks about Edgent. Please attend if you are there and spread the word to anyone who might have interest in either mentoring or getting involved in the Edgent community or trying Edgent. Please forward to anyone who might be interested. Tuesday May 16 2:30 pm: * Video Analytics at the Edge: Fun with Apache Edgent, OpenCV and a Raspberry Pi - Dale LaBossiere and William Marshall, ppmc members and committers for Edgent. Wednesday May 17: 12:15pm: * Having fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects - Jean-Frederic Clere. Even if you can't come on as a mentor, I would most appreciate advice on what the current mentors can do. I can imagine lots of applications, but I don't have a lot of industry contacts now and will soon retire from my day job and will have even fewer. I will probably have some time to yell, "Rah, Rah Edgent!" , but not sure my captive audience (my little brown dog) has real interest or contacts either. Best Kathey About Edgent Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the center to the edge. http://edgent.incubator.apache.org/ Apache Edgent<http://edgent.incubator.apache.org/> edgent.incubator.apache.org Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local, real-time ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
