Hi Xiaobing,

Many thanks. In line…

Ack

                The IETF NSE[s] are conceptual points of connection ...

Yes, to both.

Right. I think the NSC is going to be aware of the customer ID/name, so that in the provider's context the NSE is identified by {customer,  NSE ID}.

I'm pretty sure the point here is that the NSE identifiers form a set across all of the slices that a single customer has and the NSE IDs are, therefore, unique within the customer scope not within the scope of a slice.

I don't see a typo to change here.

> 4. Page 20, 'IEFT' typo

Yes

> 5. Page 20,  'are mapped to the underlay IETF Network Slice Endpoints

Oops 😊
Actually, this should be "EP" as in the diagram. A little additional tidying of the text is needed.

Oh, well found!

Best,
