Pedro:

 

I like this addition to the draft.   Does the “new-sue” editorial addition is included to “smooth” the English.

For network administrators, <new-sue> an example of intent<new-sue> can be <new>defining a network topology like a router connected to a firewall, connected to a load balancer and this to two L2 networks where WWW servers sit or specifying the</new> operations on a set of devices such as configuring IP addresses on network servers in a data center.

Hi,

 

A small clarification proposal for draft  <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-xia-ibnemo-icim/> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-xia-ibnemo-icim/ .

 

In section 2.4, I would leave the following as a paragraph

For example, in the network area the intent of end-users could be
safe connectivity between two sites which a technology independent
and device independent requirement. For business-based network
designers, the network connectivity can be selected which is device-
independent but technology specific. An example of the business-based
technology is the L3VPN. 
And change:
For network administrators, intent can be
specific operations on a set of devices such as configuring IP
addresses on network servers in a data center.

To

 

For network administrators, intent can be <new>defining a network topology like a router connected to a firewall, connected to a load balancer and this to two L2 networks where WWW servers sit or specifying the</new> operations on a set of devices such as configuring IP addresses on network servers in a data center.
 
Rationale behind this is again, that intent should be anything that is invariant and that expresses what a network operator/administrator may need to do, as opposed to how he would do that, i.e. The router is a HW device from vendor X or a virtual machine running a specific routing daemon over a given data-path implementation.
Best, /PA
