Re: [Teas] Some comments on draft-ali-teas-spring-ns-building-blocks

Hi PSF:

   Both the VTN and AII identify the underlay of the slice. However, the VTN-ID is not used as an identifier of the control plane topology. Instead, the topology of the slice is defined by referencing an existing multi-topology technology. VTN-ID defines the topology and resources of a slice by decoupling the topology and resources, which are different from AII. As mentioned in the previous email, the agreement is to find a common new term for network slice realization.

Best regards,
Zhibo

Hi Zhibo,

First, when aii was proposed in draft-peng-teas-network-slicing to introduce slice identifier to underlay network, it was not good just to change its name as vtn-id in redundant draft, for example, just open https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing-06.txt and https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn-06.txt to see the repeat and overlap.
Second, SA-ID defined in draft-bestbar-teas-ns-packet has completely covered aii and vtn-id, especially when the mapping of slice and Slice-Aggregate is 1:1. 
So that there is not any reason for you to continue to update vtn-id concept, and even ask other proposals to be alignment with VTN.   

Regards,
PSF

Hi PSF,
The discussion Jie referred to was the about the terminology alignment between VTN, Slice Aggregate, etc. in several active network slice related drafts. With the "merging" of draft-peng-teas-network-slicing into draft-bestbar-teas-ns-packet, it is not clear whether the term "AII" has been totally replaced by "Slice Aggregate", or you still plan to work on it separately?
After the discussion among the authors of several drafts, the agreement is to find a common new term for network slice realization, so that those drafts could refer to that new term. This is also what we suggested to the authors of draft-ali-teas-spring-ns-building-blocks for better terminology alignment.
Best regards,
Zhibo

Hi Dongjie,
Seeing that you openly mention VTN-ID, I have to remind you again that the VTN-ID is just the A-I-I of draft-peng-teas-network-slicing which analyzes the necessity of introducing slice identifier into underlay network. I believe you never thought about dealing with the overlap of VTN-ID and A-I-I, so how can you ask other drafts to do so?
Again, you may say that the A-I-I related scheme described by draft-peng-teas-network-slicing has scalability problems ... ... so that VTN-ID is not A-I-I... ...
Regards,
PSF

Hi authors,
Thanks for the presentation in the TEAS session in last week. Here are some comments on this draft:
1.      As discussed on the TEAS meeting, the terminologies in several drafts related to network slicing realization will be aligned, thus it is suggested the terminology in this document also aligns with the "new term"  to be proposed.
2.      As this document lists the SR technologies which can be used for network slice realization in SR networks, the suggestion is it should also describe and reference draft-ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments and  draft-ietf-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn which specifies the extensions to SR segments and the mechanisms to provide SR based VTNs.
3.      Section 8 of this document describes the "stateless network slice ID" concept and the mechanisms with different data planes. The general mechanism of introducing dedicated VTN identifier in data packet for per-VTN  packet processing was described in draft-dong-teas-enhanced-vpn-vtn-scalability, thus there is some overlap in this part which needs to be solved in future versions.
Best regards,
Jie
