L2S-M has been presented in the following events:
*[Open Source Mano (OSM) #13 plenary meeting (01/06/2022)](https://github.com/Networks-it-uc3m/L2S-M/blob/main/additional%20info/OSM%2313%20Plenary%20Meeting.pdf): In this meeting, L2S-M was presented as a solution to enable virtual networking to deploy Cloud Network Functions (CNFs) in K8s clusters. Moreover, the potential use of L2S-M to become the basis for a feature to be introduced in OSM's code was discussed as well.
*ETSI Network Operator Council Meeting #195 (June 2023)
*[FIHY Summer Camp (20/04/2023)](https://drcn2023.upc.edu/FISHYSummerCamp.html). In this summer camp, we described the utilization of L2S-M in next-generation secured communication scenarios, which are covered in the H2020 FIHSY and Labyrinth projects (see Acnkowledgemnt sections).

### Use cases where L2S-M has been used:
The following publications and references showcase various use cases where L2S-M was used as the basis for providing secure communications within one, or multiple, Kubernetes clusters:
***Fishy Reference Framework:** Complex experimentation platform developed to support the H2020 FISHY project use cases & its main functionalities. L2S-M was utilised as a component that provided secured communications between all FISHY functionalities and elements, either virtualised or physical.

***Smart Campus use case:** This use case was centred around the deployment of a "Content Delivery Network" (CDN) for distributing audiovisual content in a Univeristy environment composed of multiple edge and cloud K8s clusters. L2S-M provided inter-cluster and intra-cluster networking to securely connect all its elements.

Available [here.](https://www.mdpi.com/1999-5903/15/8/274)
***Secure Federated Learning use case:** This use case, done in collaboration with the University of Bristol, was centred around the implementation of a secured federated learning infrastructure. L2S-M enabled the isolated and secured communication between the FL clients and the server.
