Dear Network Slicing Enthusiasts

Re: Network Slicing BoF Survey <https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HWTSXXT>

Network Slicing BoF Problems & Priorities Survey

Your cooperation is kindly requested for completing this survey a.s.a.p. and not later that 30th June 2017.

The purposed of this survey is to elicit your views as an expert on the priorities and your interest on the identified network slicing problems that are not met by the existing solutions or tools. The survey will take approx. 15-20 minutes and it is anonymous.

20 NetSlicing Problems were identified in draft-galis-netslices-revised-problem-statement-03 and they are grouped in: Global Issues Problems (GI), Network Slice Capabilities Problems (NSC) and Network Slice Operations Problems (NSO).

Each problem

• has a title and short description (additional descriptions are available at “Network Slicing - Revised Problem Statement” - draft-galis-netslices-revised-problem-statement-03.)
• is resolvable in terms of one or more protocols specifications (or extensions to existing protocols) which need to be developed in order to resolve the problem.
• is related to one of more IETF gaps as identified in “Gap Analysis for Network Slicing” draft-qiang-netslices-gap-analysis-00

An initial priority level is already attached to each problem in draft-galis-netslices-revised-problem-statement-03 [(***) high priority, (**) medium priority and (*) low priority].

We are aiming to validate/invalidate through your expert view the given priorities.

The proposed NetSlicing work would include at least the high priority problems.

Results of this survey are planed for presentation at the NetSlicing BoF at IETF99 in Prague (16 -21 July 2017).

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Alex in the name of the BoF Proponents

N.B. Please note that the Network Slicing definition used in all the problems is as follows:

Network Slice - A Network slice is a managed group of subsets of resources, network functions / network virtual functions at the data, control, management/orchestration planes and services at a given time. Network slice is programmable and has the ability to expose its capabilities. The behaviour of the network slice realized via network slice instance(s).
