Hi Aihua,

The distinction between realization and intention makes sense. I believe that from the realization point of view they are identical (control plane excluded) but from an intent point of view there is a difference.

Cheers,
Daniele

Hi Adrian, Daniele and Igor,

IMHO an OTN slice, like an IETF network slice, is used to represent an intent from a (internal or external) customer's view. This intent includes a combination of resource requirements which can be expressed by connectivities or topologies, along with the common and OTN technology-specific SLOs. Customers usually do not care how an OTN slice is realized at the control plane and/or data plane, and VPN is one of the possible realizations.

To summarize, an L1VPN with QoS parameters can be considered as a possible realization of an OTN slice.

Also, if I understand it correctly, L1VPN is implemented using the control plane per rfc4878 and is not targeted as an NBI model.

Thanks,
Aihua

I think there is a difference between a L3/L2 VPN and a L1VPN that is to do with the nature of connectivity in the underlying network. A packet VPN is expressed as a set of edge points and the edge connectivity capacities, but not the edge-to-edge capacities. A L1VPN (at least for some L1 technologies – but not all?) has to be expressed in terms of edge-to-edge capacities because you cannot do “on-demand” traffic routing within the network – the flow markings are at a macro level.

From that perspective, I’d agree that L1VPN is close to L1 slicing. It would be good to hear the authors spell out the differences that they obviously have in mind.

But, not only did Daniele ask his question in TEAS, he also go an answer 😊. There are service models in which a network slice may look like a “VPN with QoS” – those are the enhanced VPN cases. But there are also service models where the edge-to-edge flows are spelled out in more detail than in a VPN.

Ciao,
Adrian

Indeed a very good question…which is similar to the more generic question of what is the difference between a LxVPN with QoS (e.g a L3VPN bound to a TE tunnel) and a slice which I tried to ask in TEAS (but that’s a different story).
Let’s focus on the difference between L1VPN and OTN slice here.

Hi Fatai,

I like that you and Adrian like my style, but I did ask questions before the last IETF. The basic one is this:
When I explain my wife what IETF network slice is, I say: Remember, we have this thing called IP VPN?  Network slice is roughly IP VPN with QOS parameters.

Considering that L1VPN cannot be without QOS, my question to the authors what is the difference between L1VPN and OTN slice?

Cheers,
Igor
