Re: [Teas] New Version Notification for draft-wd-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang-03.txt

Hi Bo, all,

Thank you for sharing this updated version. 

I'm supportive of this work, but I think we have a fundamental point to clarify: the document is currently missing data nodes that makes a slice, a slice! 

If we don't have such data nodes, the current module can be used to provision any form of connectivity. If we omit the "ns-" prefix, the module can be used for provisioning the connectivity of VoIP, multicast, etc. services. That’s actually good (as the applicability scope is wider) but we need also to think about network slice specifics.  

I have touched on some of these points in a review I shared with you back in 02/21, but unless I'm mistaken I don't think it was addressed:
https://github.com/boucadair/IETF-Drafts-Reviews/raw/master/draft-wd-teas-ietf-network-slice-nbi-yang-02-rev%20Med.doc 

Below an extract of my main comments: 

(1) A proposal to rationalize the discussion and ease progressing the spec is to clearly call that a network slice can be defined as a collection of at least three components: (1) connectivity component, (2) storage component, and (3) compute component. Having a provision for this since early stages of the model will ease grafting other components of an IETF slice easily, but also allows to avoid having a linear model.

(2) For the connectivity part, the following items are important to cover as well:
* Traffic steering and advanced services: a slice may require the invocation of service functions (firewall, for example) in a given order. These policies have to be captured in the slice request. This is also useful when the customer request that its slice should not cross some networks or not span some regions. 
* What to do for out of profile traffic: See the traffic conformance discussion in RFC7297. 
* Activation means: may need to be included in a slice definition. Think about a slice that can be implemented as a VPN service. Such service may require the activation of a given routing protocol between a CE and a PE, otherwise the service won’t be offered. 
* Invocation means: Think about a multicast service that requires IGMP/MLD and so on.
* Notification means: these are important for service assurance and fulfillment purposes.

(3) The model seems to be inspired from the opsawg vpn I-Ds (network-access structure, for example). That's great and appreciated, but I would formalize that by using I-D.ietf-opsawg-vpn-common for data nodes such as connectivity-type, endpoint-role, status-params, etc. 

(4) One last comment, I still don't get what is an "underlay IETF network".

Thank you. 

Cheers,
Med
