10 Planned Features

This chapter describes features that are planned for PhantomNet or under development: please contact us if you have any feedback or suggestions!

10.1 Improved Physical Resource Descriptions

As part of the process of reserving resources on PhantomNet, a type of RSpec called a manifest is created. The manifest gives a detailed description of the hardware allocated, including the specifics of network topology. Currently, PhantomNet does not directly export this information to the user. In the interest of improving transparency and repeatable research, PhantomNet will develop interfaces to expose, explore, and export this information.
