Hi Kiran,

I agree with Joel on the fact that we don’t need this distinction.
I don’t think the customer of the slice needs a complete separation, what is needed is a given performance.
If for some reasons there is the need to something totally dedicated with no interference, where there are the good old leased lines, right?

Cheers,
Daniele

A lot of this should be seen in the context of why would we do slices? The way I see it - it is about supporting diverse set of services with their own set of SLOs. A few of those services really need complete separation and no interference, while others will have some wiggle room ( tolerance to some amount of interference). I am ok with what we call it - but both should be possible.
Seems to me most of the discussion we have had are in the generic sense and not considering the  slicing aspect.

Kiran

Subject: Re: [Teas] Network Slicing design team definitions - isolation and resolution

I have never seen a good or useful distinction between hard and soft
isolation.  The one described in the draft (based on causes of failure)
is not effective.

Everything has a confidence / reliability / variability.  some are
better than 5 9s.  And some are one 9.  Niether is hard.  And neither is
soft.

Yours,
Joel
