[lmap] Missing concept from draft-eardley-lmap-terminology-01.txt

Most of the terminology in this draft defined by routing and addressing
concepts.   For measurement, it is also important to have terminology to
describe traffic aggregation.  Especially important is over which subpaths
might one customer's traffic be subject to resource contention with other
customers?

I would like to have precise but technology independent terms for the
boundary between shared and unshared access resources.   Note that for many
technologies (mobile service, DOCSIS) this is very close to the service
demarc at the customer.  For others, such as FTTH and DSL it typically
occurs in centralized location.

The measurement problems on either side of this boundary are extremely
different, and we need to be able to unambiguously make this dichotomy.

I use "unshared access", "shared access", and "sharing point."   Note that
for many technologies the sharing point is L2 or lower, so there might not
a natural way to connect a MP at the sharing point.

There is also the risk that addressing and routing are going to become
progressively less relevant as more and more of the network becomes
virtualized through such technologies as software defined networks.    I
consider ownership (responsibility), traffic aggregation and resource
contention to be far more important than addressing.

Also, "Destination host" is a rather odd choice for a content provider.
Perhaps "core service provider."

Thanks,
