Hi Young and Daniele, Thanks for your comments. This is a extremely good topic to discuss which could help COMS to have more clearer and concise problem space In COMS, we endeavor to avoid any duplicated work also on network configuration model. We also encourage this been done preferably in individual existing WGs, in which the underlay dataplane is willing to be considered as resource components of a network slice. The generic network configuration model was discussed under an assumption that there is a need to coordinate independent administrative domains. We leave an open space for such domains to either use specific models (likely to be defined within the domain and can be used solely without the awareness of network slice. i.e. ACTN MPI),, or use the generic ones provided by COMS (likely to be general and simple exclusively designed for mapping of slice-level requirements to network configurations, and only serve for COMS-enabled systems). This thought was base on the concerns similar to ETSI VNFM architecture which can be find here http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/NFV-IFA/001_099/009/01.01.01_60/gs_NFV-IFA009v010101p.pdf. VNFM can be seen as a orchestrator for services and it shares many design methodology with the network slice orchestrator in COMS. The vendor-specific VNFMs are more flexible, where the generic VNFM provide compulsory functionalities. It may be beneficial for COMS to look at generic models for most basic OAMs for the use at the convenience of individual administrative domains. But personal I use "may" in the context since this could be a open topic for future study and discussion as COMS proceeds.

So I think there is no issue around this that COMS would not duplicate this model. But I think you talked about the network configuration model to be generic. Is this part of the scope of COMS? I heard COMS would focus on customer service model and service delivery model, correct? Then network configuration model is not the scope of COMS? By the way generic network configuration model has been one of the foci of MPI of ACTN work in TEAS WG. Thanks.

I might be wrong but I understand that by saying SBI you mean device configuration model.

One interest of this is to help determine the appropriate abstractions and attributes to use in the models. Your wording looks good but I guess we can wait a bit longer for other comments (here on the list and during tomorrow's COMS proponents meeting). Best Regards, Xavier.

Am I correct? If yes, then instead of use of “study”, we could say something to the effect “Identify and derive technology-independent network equipment configurations from the Information model in coordination with relevant WGs as needed”.

For reference and as base for future comments, here is a fixed version of the full text with your wording. Regards, Xavier. I. Context A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service functions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of this group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised of physical and logical connections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slice include network functions and network function chains pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure elements. A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as: - Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc. - Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BGP, OSPF awareness at level below) etc. - Management plane: YANG, OAM etc. The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse technology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reasons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and services functions. Major characteristics include: - Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains. - Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform manner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administrative domains. - Enabling deployment of services over individual slices. II. Scope The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provider (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) within their slice instance under certain policies. The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, accounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute, storage resources, network and service functions — this information model includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interworking. The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including: 1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-level parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together with their corresponding performance requirements. 2 Lifecycle management of network slice. 3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, performance, status information and performance guarantees for certain services. 4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment. 5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploying network services over a slice. The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functionalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract information model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc. III. Deliverables WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of documents as determined by the WG: - Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices. - Architecture of network slices. - Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics described above in the scope section. - SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models. - Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurations derived from the information model towards specific technologies and coordination with relevant WGs as needed.
