Re: [Nsaas] 答复: Existing work, other things

[Melinda Shore <[e-mail]>]

I'm finding the discussion to be a little bit difficult to follow,
to be honest.  Maybe it would be helpful to break things down
point-by-point:

1) The IETF has had considerable experience standardizing
   protocols between some sort of agent or controller and a
   network security device.  These have largely been
   unsuccessful, in the sense that they haven't been implemented
   and deployed.  I think any new effort in this area needs
   to make a case for why it will be successful, given that
   history.

2) If OpenStack is producing work that's being implemented,
   that's a good thing.  It is unclear to me why you would
   bring work "fixing" shortcomings in OpenStack to the IETF,
   rather than to OpenStack

3) I'm not at all clear on why this work is not being discussed
   in the context of sfc, while we're at it.  Why would it not
   fit there - that is to say, why is it a different problem?
