Hi teas,

Please find a new version of our I-D, with some minor updates:

- Added xMI interface to figure 1 as per discussion (earlier teas list email)
- Various readability updates and NITS
- Updated references 

This version represents the version the authors would like the Chairs/WG to consider for Last Call. 

Re: draft-ietf-teas-applicability-actn-slicing and possible overlap with draft-barguil-teas-network-slices-instantation

Following up on my comments during the IETF 117 TEAS session. 

draft-ietf-teas-applicability-actn-slicing - Our applicability document is very specific to the ACTN architecture and, of course, the models. The instantiation draft is more of an overview of all the YANG models available and how they could be used in different instantiations. 

draft-barguil-teas-network-slices-instantation mentions ACTN, but only at a very high level. Therefore, it could certainly reference the ACTN applicability document, and it should, maybe, include a short subsection listing ACTN models. 

However, including the full ACTN applicability text in draft-barguil-teas-network-slices-instantation would swamp all of the other material, while putting non-ACTN in the ACTN applicability draft would be wrong.

I hope that makes the situation clearer. 

BR, Dan (on behalf of the authors)

Abstract:

   Network abstraction is a technique that can be applied to a network
   domain to obtain a view of potential connectivity across the network
   by utilizing a set of policies to select network resources.

   Network slicing is an approach to network operations that builds on
   the concept of network abstraction to provide programmability,
   flexibility, and modularity.  It may use techniques such as Software
   Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to
   create multiple logical or virtual networks, each tailored for a set
   of services that share the same set of requirements.

   Abstraction and Control of Traffic Engineered Networks (ACTN) is
   described in RFC 8453.  It defines an SDN-based architecture that
   relies on the concept of network and service abstraction to detach
   network and service control from the underlying data plane.

   This document outlines the applicability of ACTN to network slicing
   in a Traffic Engineered (TE) network that utilizes IETF technologies.
   It also identifies the features of network slicing not currently
   within the scope of ACTN, and indicates where ACTN might be extended.
