Hi Ning, Thanks for the review, answers inline (DK>>): Br, Dan. -----Original Message----- From: Zongning [mailto:zongning@huawei.com] Sent: 11 June 2014 07:27 To: King, Daniel; vnfpool@ietf.org Subject: 答复: New Version Notification for draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case (Now Version 01) Hi, Dan, and co-authors, Thank you for working on the new version. I quickly read the draft and have a few comments as following. 1) In the 4th paragraph in P7, I can see that a VNF can be implemented by various (different) VNFCs. But I was confused by Figure 2, where it seems that multiple (identical) VNFCs are load balanced. Please make it clear if you just use Figure 2 to show the case of a VNF with identical VNFCs? DK>> Yes, the intention was to show multiple instances, of the same type, to build a single VNF. We will clarify in the next version. 2) In P8, VNF Pool is mentioned for the first time in the draft. It may be worthwhile to briefly introduce the concept of VNF Pool, e.g., what is pool? You could actually move the content of Section 3.3.1 to here. DK>> Agree. We can definitely discuss the concept of VNF Pool earlier, both by moving section "3.3.1 VNF Pool Definitions" to earlier in the document, and expand on the existing text, plus referencing other I-Ds when relevant. 3) In the 3rd paragraph in Section 3.3, I don't understand what "PEs" mean? Is that specific to EPC? DK>> Ah no, nothing so specific. In this case it is a L2/L3 PE (router). We will clarify in the next version. 4) In the 2nd paragraph in Section 3.3, I think a VNF Pool Manager is just for a VNF Pool in a VNF. As described in PS draft, the pooling will be transparent to the whole service graph, or VNF set. DK>> That’s fine, we will synch the definition/usage with the PS draft. Some editorial issues: 1) The two paragraphs immediately after Figure 2 are duplicated. 2) Missing Figure number in two the figures except Figure 1 & Figure 2. 3) In 3rd paragraph in Introduction, "Industry Steering Group" should be "Industry Specification Group". (Although I like the former so much :-)) 4) In Section 3.2, "VSN" should be "VNF". DK>> That’s great, thanks! Hope these help. Thanks. -Ning -----邮件原件----- 发件人: vnfpool [mailto:vnfpool-bounces@ietf.org] 代表 King, Daniel 发送时间: 2014年6月9日 1:19 收件人: vnfpool@ietf.org 主题: [vnfpool] New Version Notification for draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case (Now Version 01) Hi All, Please note that we submitted a new version of the vnfpool mobile use case: Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case-01 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case-01 Various updates, including: - Synching of currently agreed vnfpool terminology - VNF Scaling discussion, with high-level descriptions - VNF Inter-networking - Discussion on VNF Pool definitions Special thanks to Marco and Jeong-dong for their suggestions.

Name: draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case Revision: 01 Title: Virtualisation of Mobile Core Network Use Case Document date: 2014-06-08 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 14 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case-01.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case-01 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-king-vnfpool-mobile-use-case-01 Abstract: Accessing the Internet via mobile data services using smartphones, tablets, and mobile data USB dongles has increased rapidly, as high-speed packet data networks provide the bandwidth required for today's Internet applications. Mobile operators will continue to evolve their core networks to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to meet the mobility, latency and bandwidth requirements for mobile data users. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) looks to reduce mobile core network complexity and related operational issues by leveraging standard IT virtualization technologies and consolidate different types of network equipment onto commodity hardware. This use case document provides resiliency requirements for virtualization of the LTE mobile core network, known as virtualized EPC (vEPC). Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
