underpinning it makes sense with this draft to pick the design to use MT
separate forwarding plane RIB/FIB topology resource isolation over MI -
Separate control plane & forwarding plane resource isolation.  As you
stated with TEAS NS there could be 1000s of slices and so you really need
to pick your poison carefully as far as degree of resource isolation to
provide optimized overall scalability. This draft is another way to skin
the cat for VTN network slice as far as isolation and taking it another
step further to provide lesser isolation then MT with isolating with MFI
flood instance to provide greater scalability with slices.
