Abstract:
   Network abstraction is a technique that can be applied to a network
   domain.  It utilizes a set of policies to select network resources
   and obtain a view of potential connectivity across the network.

   Network slicing is an approach to network operations that builds on
   the concept of network abstraction to provide programmability,
   flexibility, and modularity.  It may use techniques such as Software
   Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to
   create multiple logical or virtual networks, each tailored for a set
   of services that share the same set of requirements.

   Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered Networks (ACTN) is
   described in RFC 8453.  It defines an SDN-based architecture that
   relies on the concept of network and service abstraction to detach
   network and service control from the underlying data plane.

   This document outlines the applicability of ACTN to network slicing
   in a Traffic Engineering (TE) network that utilizes IETF technology.
   It also identifies the features of network slicing not currently
   within the scope of ACTN, and indicates where ACTN might be extended.
