Hello, Liang,

 

Thanks for the reference draft.

The terminology with respect to the various aspects of a network slice and related abstractions, look good.

 

In several sections of the draft there are references to the term ‘operator’, in different contexts.

 

A generalized distinction, in terms of NSP and SP would be relevant in the draft, from a forward-looking perspective, where domain owners may either just be an NSP or an SP, or an SP that also behaves as an NSP.

NSP : Network Service Provider (instead of ‘operator’): This entity only provides ‘access’ type of services

SP: Service Provider: This entity provides any service above the network layer, but may also behave as an NSP

 

Happy to scrub the text, with tracked changes with generalized terminology that uses SP and NSP, instead of ‘operator’

 

Many thanks.

-Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

 

We have defined term with similar generalization concernsin Architecture draft. All other rnetslices draft is referring to these terminologies. This document can be find here

Dear Colleagues,

 

Thanks for delineating the prominent aspects of network slicing.

 

Here are some thoughts on terminology.

 

With the diverse nature of services in the 5G realm, where XaaS (Anything as a Service) is an emerging paradigm, perhaps some of the legacy terminology may need to be generalized.

For example, the term ‘operator’ was typically used with reference to various types of ‘access’ modalities.

 

In NGMN, such terminology is being generalized.

NSP : Network Service Provider (instead of ‘operator’): This entity only provides ‘access’ type of services

SP: Service Provider: This entity provides any service above the network layer, but may also behave as an NSP

 

Best wishes.

-Sebastian

Dear All,

 

We have upload "Gap Analysis for Network Slicing" draft 00 on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-qiang-netslices-gap-analysis/?include_text=1

Your comments and reviews are greatly appreciated.

 

Abstract:

   This document presents network slicing differentiation from the non-

   partition network or from simply partition of connectivity resources.

   It lists 15 standardization gaps related to 6 key requirements for

   network slicing.  It also presents an analysis of existing related

   work and other potential solutions on network slicing.

 

   This gap analysis document aims to provide a basis for future works

   in network slicing.

 

Best regards,
