Re: [Teas] A draft on the framework for end-to-end IETF network slicing

 Hi Joel,
Suppose a TE service/tunnel is requested and set up connecting access points A and B across the network. Can I consider such a tunnel as a trivial IETF network slice? If not, why? If yes. why not to reduce, generally speaking, the  IETF network slice problem to the problem of p2p and p2mp TE tunnels interconnecting IETF slice end points? For example, we have spent a lot of time discussing e2e multi-domain TE tunnels and how their segments in each domain are identified, associated, etc. Is it necessary or useful in your opinion to repeat the discussion in the context of slicing?

Thanks,Igor

 Do you mean traffic monitoring at the domain edges?  Or inside the 
domain?  If at the domain edges, then any mapping technology can also be 
used for monitoring.
If inside the domain, this places a significant disaggregated statistics 
collection load on the internals of the network.
Edge-to-Edge monitoring by the consumer (client? customer?) of the 
component is clealry useful.  But does not requrie such identification. 
  Nor does it requrie internal disaggregated state reporting.
the internals presumably will monitor the aggregated behavior.  Which 
again does not require the identification.

Yours,
Joel

Currently there are several proposals about the encapsulation of network slice related identifiers. Based on that, this document further describes the considerations about the multi-domain IETF network slice scenario, and the interaction with other technical domains for 5G end-to-end network slicing.
