Hi Adrian,
I've read the draft-ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices/> (many
thanks for all your work on it!) and I've got a question. It appears to me
that the definition of a Service Demarcation Point section 2.1) as the
point of where the IETF Network Slice service is delivered by the provider
to a customer is similar to the definition of a Service Attachment Point in
draft-ietf-opsawg-sap
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-sap/> as an
"abstraction of the network reference points where network services can be
delivered to customers." Hence my question. Is there an intended difference
between SDP and SAP that is indicated by using different terms?

Regards,
Greg
