Re: [Qirg] I-D Action: draft-wang-qirg-quantum-internet-use-cases-04.txt

Dear authors,

Thanks for the interesting read.

A few minor changes I would like to suggest;

"The end-nodes run applications that provide some value added service for
the end-users such as processing and transmission of voice, video or data."
--> ""The end-nodes expose applications  that provide services to the
end-user including processing and transmission of voice, video or data".
The way this is currently described is too narrow imho.

"The physical connections between the various nodes in the Internet
include Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs), fiber optics, etc." --> "The
connections between the various nodes could include Digital Subscriber
Lines (DSLs), fiber optics, etc."

Again, currently it's too narrow. Large parts of the internet are
connected via satellite for example.


"Quantum Internet will provide intrinsic benefits such as better
end-user and network security." --> "Quantum Internet will provide
intrinsic benefits such as better end-to-end and network security"

It is not securing the end-user itself :)


I would also like to ask the authors, and I'm offering to help, to
redefine or perhaps reconsider the use of the words control-plane and
data-plane.

The way they are currently used in the draft could cause confusion
with how these 2 terms are used in general in the 'classical network'
or better the way current network equipment operates.

I would advise not to use these 2 terms for describing the separation
between protocols and applications.
As written, I'm happy to help redefine that part.


Thanks again for the work!


Regards,

Melchior
