Re: [Sdn] I-D Action: draft-xia-sdnrg-service-description-language-02.txt

This is interesting. Here is my two cents.

I agree with you that there are two issues.
And for the first one, I think we need a language to easily express the service request or the user intent.

The second one is about the protocol between the controller and applications. I think we have two option.
1. One is to pass the script as content directly to the controller. And all the compilation/parsing done on the controller.
2. The other option is to parse the intent expression on the application side into some well known format, e.g. xml, json, and then transport the content to the controller.

That's what we need to discuss in the community.

Best,
Terence

There appear to be two, separable technical issues in this draft:

1) What information is needed to represent a service request.
2) How to represent and transport the information for a request.

The first part may be a good area.

For the second part, I wonder if there are not already available methods to declare a schema and represent and transport the information governed by it.
It appears the draft is proposing to invent another mechanism.
It would be nice to understand the reasoning behind this choice.
