Re: [vnfpool] New Version Notification for draft-hares-vnf-pool-use-case-00.txt

Hi, Sue,

This is really an excellent draft describing several interesting and real scenarios of vnfpool !

Some quick notes:
1) Quite a number of VNFs are listed in your implementations. Could you please roughly describe how these VNFs are organized (e.g., allocated amongst pools, managed by pool managers)? I strongly believe those details would be good reference to vnfpool architecture as potential next step work.
2) I am not sure I completely understand the case of "application scaling". Do you mean that VNFs are used to handle the application requests, or just used to implement the applications themselves? I also don't quite understand "2 Million URI references for each access node". Could you elaborate more on this?
3) Still some editorial nits - like "DCHP"? :-)

Thanks.

> Abstract:
>    In the context of virtualization, a service essentially consists of a
>    set of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) with each VNF building on
>    top of virtualization infrastructure to implement a specific network
>    functions along with the data connections between VNFs.  VNFs may be
>    highly distributed existing in devices in data center networks,
>    mobile networks or satellite networks.  In some of these
>    environments, the resources are highly constrained.
> 
>    This draft provides seven use cases the authors have implemented in
>    demonstration or deployed code for the following network function
>    virtualization: cloud bursting, parental controls, load balancer for
>    multipath (L1-L7), WAN optimization that runs either between access
>    nodes and Data Centers, WAN optimization between mobile phones to
>    Data Centers (through access nodes), application placement
>    optimization, and optimized placement of web applications utilizing
>    minimal data transfer.
