Hi all, here is the latest version of the charter text prepared by COMS
proponents, including changes discussed in this thread and some minor
rewording in the first paragraph of the context section.
Best Regards,
Xavier.

I. Context

A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions
that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry
vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single
domain or across multiple domains, and they may use heterogeneous
technologies. The goal of this group is to produce and promote a
technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network
slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised of
physical and logical connections in access, aggregation and backbone
networks as well as computing and storage elements. Service functions
associated with a network slice include network functions and network
function chains pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure
elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning
across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing
IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as:
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP,
BGP, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric
management plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse
technology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial
reasons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used
for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and
inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of
network slicing being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network
infrastructures and services functions. Major characteristics include:

- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform
manner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or
administrative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage
network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice
provider (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator
(NSO) over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also
be used between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical
management through the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will
be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface
(CSI) exposed by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand
measurement) within their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice,
accounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity,
compute, storage resources, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this
information model includes the representation of managed objects and
corresponding management and operations, will guide the design of data
models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities
on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including
high-level parameters for network infrastructures and service functions,
together with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults,
performance, status information and performance guarantees for certain
services.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including
deploying network services over a slice.

The WG will specify management requirements and functionalities of data
plane entities as needed to enable the operation  of network slices. For
example, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement,
or gateway functionalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the
abstract information model and managed entities, and will liaise with other
IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate device
models and data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS,
Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of
documents as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics
described above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Specify management requirements and functionalities of data plane
entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices.
- Study mappings towards specific technologies and coordination with
relevant WGs as needed.

<div dir=3D"ltr"><div><div>Hi all, here is the latest version of the charte=
r text prepared by COMS proponents, including changes discussed in this thr=
ead and some minor rewording in the first paragraph of the context section.=
<br></div>Best Regards,<br></div>Xavier.<br><div><div><br>I. Context<br><br=
>A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions=
 that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry=
 vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single doma=
in or across multiple domains, and they may use heterogeneous technologies.=
 The goal of this group is to produce and promote a technology-independent =
and resource-centric management plane for network slices. Resources associa=
ted with a network slice are normally comprised of physical and logical con=
nections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing =
and storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slice inc=
lude network functions and network function chains pre-defined using corres=
ponding network infrastructure elements.<br><br>A &quot;Network Slice&quot;=
 is realized using a collection of technologies spanning across data, contr=
ol and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IETF technologies i=
ncluding both concluded and in-progress works such as:<br>- Data plane: Det=
Net, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>- Controller and/=
or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BGP, OSPF awareness=
 at level below) etc.<br>- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.<br><br>The foun=
dation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric management =
plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse technology c=
hoices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reasons. The=
refore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for specific d=
omains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative manageme=
nt mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing being a=
dopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and services =
functions. Major characteristics include:<br><br>- Enabling composition of =
slices within a single or over multiple domains.<br>- Allowing the operatio=
n and management of a network slice in a uniform manner, even when this net=
work slice span multiple technology and/or administrative domains.<br>- Ena=
bling deployment of services over individual slices.<br><br>II. Scope<br><b=
r>The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To mana=
ge network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice pro=
vider (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO=
) over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be us=
ed between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management th=
rough the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to=
 tenants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) expose=
d by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) =
within their slice instance under certain policies.<br><br>The WG will desc=
ribe an information model representing a network slice, accounting for the =
key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute, storage resourc=
es, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this information model includes=
 the representation of managed objects and corresponding management and ope=
rations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and also will =
enable orchestrators interworking.<br><br>The WG will specify requirements,=
 operations and management functionalities on network slicing interfaces SD=
I and/or CSI including:<br>1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP=
 over SDI, including high-level parameters for network infrastructures and =
service functions, together with their corresponding performance requiremen=
ts.<br>2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>3 Other FCAPS functions.=
 An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, performance, status infor=
mation and performance guarantees for certain services.<br>4 Slice composit=
ion or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>5 Slice management by the =
tenant under the control of NSP, including deploying network services over =
a slice.<br><br>The WG will specify management requirements and functionali=
ties of data plane entities as needed to enable the operation=C2=A0 of netw=
ork slices. For example, this may include abstractions of policy control an=
d enforcement, or gateway functionalities. The WG will also study the mappi=
ng between the abstract information model and managed entities, and will li=
aise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to rep=
licate device models and data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunne=
ls, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br><br>III. Deliverables<br><br>W=
G deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of documents=
 as determined by the WG:<br>- Problem statement and use cases for manageme=
nt of network slices.<br>- Architecture of network slices.<br>- Information=

e scope section.<br>- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YAN=

I. Context<br>
<br>
A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote
 a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network=
 slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised o=
f physical and
<span class=3D"m_-5985949731341769820x_xm964199367954095644gmail-im">logica=
l connections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as compu=
ting and storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slic=
e include network functions and network function chains
 pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure elements.</span><br=
>
<br>
A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologies =
spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on e=
xisting IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works su=
ch as:<br>
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.<br>
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.<br>
<br>
The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption
 on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to d=
efine a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential=
 for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heteroge=
neous network infrastructures and
 services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<=
br>
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.<br>
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br>
<br>
II. Scope<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface
 (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, =
enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnet=
s. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Cust=
omer Service Interface (CSI) exposed
 by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) w=
ithin their slice instance under certain policies.<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this informatio=
n model includes the representation of managed
 objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design=
 of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interwork=
ing.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:<br>
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.<br>
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study
 the mapping between the abstract information model and managed entities, a=
nd will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not atte=
mpt to replicate data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS=
, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
<br>
III. Deliverables<br>
<br>
WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:<br>
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.<br>
- Architecture of network slices.<br>
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.<br>
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.<br>
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and c=
oordination with relevant WGs as needed.<br>

Hi Liang,

Yes when I said SBI, I meant device configuration model. So I think there i=
s no issue around this that COMS would not duplicate this model.

But I think you talked about the network configuration model to be generic.=
 Is this part of the scope of COMS? I heard COMS would focus on customer se=
rvice model and service delivery model, correct? Then network configuration=
 model is not the scope of COMS? By the way generic network configuration m=
odel has been one of the foci of MPI of ACTN work in TEAS WG.

Thanks.
Young

Hi Young,



I believe that our discussion has different reference points for SBI.



I might be wrong but I understand that by saying SBI you mean device config=
uration model. At this point we are aligned, as Jeff and Xavier also pointe=
d out, that COMS will not duplicate these device model works.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Liang,



The SBI work in TEAS has IP/MPLS, Segment Routing, OTN, WDM (with CCAMP) in=
 scope. What is technology-independent, generic data plane on SBI? We canno=
t really separate data plane technology from the model on SBI.



Thanks.

Hi Jeff and all,



I think what COMS is dealing with in terms of SBI is more relevant to netwo=
rk configuration models.



Technology-dependent ones may be done in existing WGs (i.e. TEAS-ACTN) whil=
st COMS may endeavor to examine generic ones.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Christina,



My point - you should never be dealing with device models directly, irrespe=
ctively of where they were developed.

Hi Jeff,



I think we may understand this sentence from another perspective. As you sa=
id, there are a number of network/device configuration models, and their ex=
tension/mapping work is better to be done in corresponding WGs. For those t=
echnologies that are not chartered by relevant WGs, the mapping/extension w=
ork could be done in COMS if needed. What do you think?



Best regards,

Cristina QIANG

Hi,



I don't think this is right thing to do, device models would be number of l=
ayers below where you'd be operating.

You might use draft-ietf-opsawg-service-model-explained as a reference.

Thanks Kiran, yes, I think one example is draft-homma-coms-slice-gateway, w=
hich looks at the technology-independent requirements on some data plane eq=
uipment. One interest of this is to help determine the appropriate abstract=
ions and attributes to use in the models.

Your wording looks good but I guess we can wait a bit longer for other comm=
ents (here on the list and during tomorrow's COMS proponents meeting).

Best Regards,

Xavier.

Xavier,

This statement may need some additional clarity.

I think what you are trying to say is that equipment configurations may nee=

If yes, then instead of use of "study", we could say something to the effec=

Thanks for clarifying the text Pedro. For reference and as base for future =
comments, here is a fixed version of the full text with your wording.

Regards,

Xavier.

I. Context

A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource-cen=
tric management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a netwo=
rk slice are normally comprised of physical and logical connections in acce=
ss, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elem=
ents. Service functions associated with a network slice include network fun=
ctions and network function chains pre-defined using corresponding network =
infrastructure elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IE=
TF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as:
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for sp=
ecific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative =
management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing=
 being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and s=
ervices functions. Major characteristics include:
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used=
 between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management thro=
ugh the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to t=
enants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed =
by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) wi=
thin their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions - this information model =
includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding management=
 and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and al=
so will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract informat=
ion model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as need=
ed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies i=
ncluding DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and c=
oordination with relevant WGs as needed.

I. Context<br>
<br>
A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote
 a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network=
 slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised o=
f physical and
<span class=3D"xxm964199367954095644gmail-im">logical connections in access=
, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elemen=
ts. Service functions associated with a network slice include network funct=
ions and network function chains pre-defined
 using corresponding network infrastructure elements.</span><br>
<br>
A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologies =
spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on e=
xisting IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works su=
ch as:<br>
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.<br>
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.<br>
<br>
The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption
 on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to d=
efine a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential=
 for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heteroge=
neous network infrastructures and
 services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<=
br>
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.<br>
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br>
<br>
II. Scope<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface
 (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, =
enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnet=
s. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Cust=
omer Service Interface (CSI) exposed
 by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) w=
ithin their slice instance under certain policies.<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions &#8212; this information =
model includes the representation of managed
 objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design=
 of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interwork=
ing.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:<br>
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.<br>
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study
 the mapping between the abstract information model and managed entities, a=
nd will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not atte=
mpt to replicate data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS=
, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
<br>
III. Deliverables<br>
<br>
WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:<br>
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.<br>
- Architecture of network slices.<br>

Hi Liang,

Yes when I said SBI, I meant device configuration model. So I think there i=
s no issue around this that COMS would not duplicate this model.

But I think you talked about the network configuration model to be generic.=
 Is this part of the scope of COMS? I heard COMS would focus on customer se=
rvice model and service delivery model, correct? Then network configuration=
 model is not the scope of COMS? By the way generic network configuration m=
odel has been one of the foci of MPI of ACTN work in TEAS WG.

Thanks.

Hi Young,



I believe that our discussion has different reference points for SBI.



I might be wrong but I understand that by saying SBI you mean device config=
uration model. At this point we are aligned, as Jeff and Xavier also pointe=
d out, that COMS will not duplicate these device model works.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Liang,



The SBI work in TEAS has IP/MPLS, Segment Routing, OTN, WDM (with CCAMP) in=
 scope. What is technology-independent, generic data plane on SBI? We canno=
t really separate data plane technology from the model on SBI.



Thanks.

Hi Jeff and all,



I think what COMS is dealing with in terms of SBI is more relevant to netwo=
rk configuration models.



Technology-dependent ones may be done in existing WGs (i.e. TEAS-ACTN) whil=
st COMS may endeavor to examine generic ones.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Christina,



My point - you should never be dealing with device models directly, irrespe=
ctively of where they were developed.



Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,



I think we may understand this sentence from another perspective. As you sa=
id, there are a number of network/device configuration models, and their ex=
tension/mapping work is better to be done in corresponding WGs. For those t=
echnologies that are not chartered by relevant WGs, the mapping/extension w=
ork could be done in COMS if needed. What do you think?



Best regards,

Cristina QIANG

Hi,



I don't think this is right thing to do, device models would be number of l=
ayers below where you'd be operating.

You might use draft-ietf-opsawg-service-model-explained as a reference.

Jeff

Thanks Kiran, yes, I think one example is draft-homma-coms-slice-gateway, w=
hich looks at the technology-independent requirements on some data plane eq=
uipment. One interest of this is to help determine the appropriate abstract=
ions and attributes to use in the models.

Your wording looks good but I guess we can wait a bit longer for other comm=
ents (here on the list and during tomorrow's COMS proponents meeting).

Best Regards,

Xavier.

Xavier,

This statement may need some additional clarity.

"Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurati=

I think what you are trying to say is that equipment configurations may nee=
d some work to provide slices related capabilities and support. Am I correc=
t?

If yes, then instead of use of "study", we could say something to the effec=
t "Identify and derive technology-independent network equipment configurati=

. This shows a clear deliverable.

Thanks for clarifying the text Pedro. For reference and as base for future =
comments, here is a fixed version of the full text with your wording.

Regards,

Xavier.

I. Context

A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource-cen=
tric management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a netwo=
rk slice are normally comprised of physical and logical connections in acce=
ss, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elem=
ents. Service functions associated with a network slice include network fun=
ctions and network function chains pre-defined using corresponding network =
infrastructure elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IE=
TF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as:
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for sp=
ecific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative =
management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing=
 being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and s=
ervices functions. Major characteristics include:
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used=
 between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management thro=
ugh the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to t=
enants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed =
by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) wi=
thin their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions - this information model =
includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding management=
 and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and al=
so will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract informat=
ion model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as need=
ed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies i=
ncluding DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and c=
oordination with relevant WGs as needed.

I. Context<br>
<br>
A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote
 a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network=
 slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised o=
f physical and
<span class=3D"xxm964199367954095644gmail-im">logical connections in access=
, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elemen=
ts. Service functions associated with a network slice include network funct=
ions and network function chains pre-defined
 using corresponding network infrastructure elements.</span><br>
<br>
A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologies =
spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on e=
xisting IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works su=
ch as:<br>
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.<br>
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.<br>
<br>
The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption
 on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to d=
efine a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential=
 for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heteroge=
neous network infrastructures and
 services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<=
br>
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.<br>
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br>
<br>
II. Scope<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface
 (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, =
enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnet=
s. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Cust=
omer Service Interface (CSI) exposed
 by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) w=
ithin their slice instance under certain policies.<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions &#8212; this information =
model includes the representation of managed
 objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design=
 of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interwork=
ing.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:<br>
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.<br>
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study
 the mapping between the abstract information model and managed entities, a=
nd will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not atte=
mpt to replicate data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS=
, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
<br>
III. Deliverables<br>
<br>
WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:<br>
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.<br>
- Architecture of network slices.<br>
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.<br>
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.<br>
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and c=
oordination with relevant WGs as needed.<br>

Abstract:
   The Common Operation and Management of network Slicing (COMS) intends
   to provide a comprehensive approach for the overall operation and
   management of network slicing in the scope if IETF.  The system is
   designed in a hierarchical and inter-operative manner.  COMS is
   capable of recursive adaption in a hierarchical network management
   system.  It is also independent of data plane technologies used in
   different administrative domains.  Both network slice operator and
   network slice tenant may benefit for COMS for the purpose of slice
   management and maitenance.The purpose of this document is to discuss
   the use cases of COMS in different views.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submissio=
n until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.

Abstract:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; The Common Operation and Management of network Slicing (COMS) =
intends<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; to provide a comprehensive approach for the overall operation =
and<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; management of network slicing in the scope if IETF.&nbsp; The =
system is<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; designed in a hierarchical and inter-operative manner.&nbsp; C=
OMS is<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; capable of recursive adaption in a hierarchical network manage=
ment<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; system.&nbsp; It is also independent of data plane technologie=
s used in<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; different administrative domains.&nbsp; Both network slice ope=
rator and<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; network slice tenant may benefit for COMS for the purpose of s=
lice<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; management and maitenance.The purpose of this document is to d=
iscuss<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; the use cases of COMS in different views.<br>

Hi,

/IAB shepherd hat on

=20

First of all =E2=80=93 thank you for continues work and improvements!=20

=20

Please keep the scope narrow and concise (aka don=E2=80=99t boil the ocean or eve=
n a lake)

There=E2=80=99s no need to address every technology by its name, someone will be =
forgotten, someone be mentioned mistakenly =C2=A0(e.g. there=E2=80=99s no =E2=80=9CSR VPN=E2=80=99=
s=E2=80=9D, neither SR data plane =E2=80=93 it is either MPLS or IPv6), control/data/man=
agement planes would suffice.=20

=E2=80=9Cetc=E2=80=9D - doesn=E2=80=99t belong in a charter in any form.

=E2=80=9C

Please be precise in Deliverables:

=20

=E2=80=9CStudy=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 can=E2=80=99t be one, obliviously, it is part of the process, but=
 not the result

I think, informational and corresponding data models would be a better desc=
ription?

=20

Thanks!

Hi Liang,

=20

Yes when I said SBI, I meant device configuration model. So I think there i=
s no issue around this that COMS would not duplicate this model.

=20

But I think you talked about the network configuration model to be generic.=
 Is this part of the scope of COMS? I heard COMS would focus on customer ser=
vice model and service delivery model, correct? Then network configuration m=
odel is not the scope of COMS? By the way generic network configuration mode=
l has been one of the foci of MPI of ACTN work in TEAS WG.=20

=20

Thanks.

Young

Hi Young,

=20

I believe that our discussion has different reference points for SBI.

=20

I might be wrong but I understand that by saying SBI you mean device config=
uration model. At this point we are aligned, as Jeff and Xavier also pointed=
 out, that COMS will not duplicate these device model works.

=20

Best wishes

Hi Liang,

=20

The SBI work in TEAS has IP/MPLS, Segment Routing, OTN, WDM (with CCAMP) in=
 scope. What is technology-independent, generic data plane on SBI? We cannot=
 really separate data plane technology from the model on SBI.=20

Hi Jeff and all,

=20

I think what COMS is dealing with in terms of SBI is more relevant to netwo=
rk configuration models.=20

=20

Technology-dependent ones may be done in existing WGs (i.e. TEAS-ACTN) whil=
st COMS may endeavor to examine generic ones.

Hi Jeff,

=20

I think we may understand this sentence from another perspective. As you sa=
id, there are a number of network/device configuration models, and their ext=
ension/mapping work is better to be done in corresponding WGs. For those tec=
hnologies that are not chartered by relevant WGs, the mapping/extension work=
 could be done in COMS if needed. What do you think?

Hi,

I don=E2=80=99t think this is right thing to do, device models would be number of=

You might use draft-ietf-opsawg-service-model-explained as a reference.

Thanks Kiran, yes, I think one example is draft-homma-coms-slice-gateway, w=
hich looks at the technology-independent requirements on some data plane equ=
ipment. One interest of this is to help determine the appropriate abstractio=
ns and attributes to use in the models.

Your wording looks good but I guess we can wait a bit longer for other comm=
ents (here on the list and during tomorrow's COMS proponents meeting).

Best Regards,

Xavier.

ffect =E2=80=9CIdentify and derive technology-independent network equipment config=
urations from the Information model in coordination with relevant WGs as nee=
ded=E2=80=9D. This shows a clear deliverable.

Thanks for clarifying the text Pedro. For reference and as base for future =
comments, here is a fixed version of the full text with your wording.

Regards,

Xavier.


I. Context

A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to =
cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of this =
group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource-centri=
c management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a network s=
lice are normally comprised of physical and logical connections in access, a=
ggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elements. =
Service functions associated with a network slice include network functions =
and network function chains pre-defined using corresponding network infrastr=
ucture elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IET=
F technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as:
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse techn=
ology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reason=
s. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for speci=
fic domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative mana=
gement mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing bein=
g adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and service=
s functions. Major characteristics include:
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administra=
tive domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provid=
er (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) ov=
er a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used be=
tween network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management through =
the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to tenant=
s, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed by the=
 NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) within th=
eir slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute, =
storage resources, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this information model =
includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding management =
and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and also=
 will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together =
with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servic=
es.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this may=
 include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway function=
alities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract information=
 model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. =
However, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies includ=
ing DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and co=
ordination with relevant WGs as needed.

<br><br>A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and ser=
vice functions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being a=
ble to cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal o=
f this group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource=
-centric management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a ne=
twork slice are normally comprised of physical and <span class=3Dxxm9641993679=
54095644gmail-im>logical connections in access, aggregation and backbone net=
works as well as computing and storage elements. Service functions associate=
d with a network slice include network functions and network function chains=
 pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure elements.</span><br>=
<br>A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologi=
es spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on=
 existing IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works s=
uch as:<br>- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO=
3 etc.<br>- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requirin=
g LDP, BGP, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.<br>- Management plane: YANG,=
 OAM etc.<br><br>The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and reso=
urce-centric management plane. In reality, the network slice provider may ha=
ve diverse technology choices in different domains due to geographical and c=
ommercial reasons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology i=
s used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inte=
r-operative management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of netw=
ork slicing being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastruct=
ures and services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>- Enabling co=
mposition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<br>- Allowing =
the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform manner, even wh=
en this network slice span multiple technology and/or administrative domains=
.<br>- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br><br>II. Sc=
ope<br><br>The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing.=
 To manage network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network sl=
ice provider (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrato=
r (NSO) over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also =
be used between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical managemen=
t through the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased=
 to tenants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) expo=
sed by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement)=
 within their slice instance under certain policies.<br><br>The WG will desc=
ribe an information model representing a network slice, accounting for the k=
ey elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute, storage resources=
, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this information model includes the repr=
esentation of managed objects and corresponding management and operations, w=
ill guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orch=
estrators interworking.<br><br>The WG will specify requirements, operations =
and management functionalities on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI =
including:<br>1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, inc=
luding high-level parameters for network infrastructures and service functio=
ns, together with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>2 Lifecyc=
le management of network slice.<br>3 Other FCAPS functions. An important tas=
k of NSP is to aggregate faults, performance, status information and perform=
ance guarantees for certain services.<br>4 Slice composition or stitching in=
 multi-domain environment.<br>5 Slice management by the tenant under the con=
trol of NSP, including deploying network services over a slice.<br><br>The W=
G will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities as ne=
eded to enable the management of network slices. For example, this may inclu=
de abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functionalitie=
s. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract information model=
 and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. Howeve=
r, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies including De=
tNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br><br>III. Delivera=
bles<br><br>WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number =
of documents as determined by the WG:<br>- Problem statement and use cases f=
or management of network slices.<br>- Architecture of network slices.<br>- I=
nformation model(s) and operations for network slices on topics described ab=

Thanks Jeff, here is an updated text to address some of your points
(removing the lists of technologies and the "study" entry).
For the last deliverable I followed your suggestion to replace "study".
Others may want to discuss/reword this later, but we need a version for the
BoF proposal.
Best Regards,
Xavier.


I. Context

A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions
that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry
vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single
domain or across multiple domains, and they may use heterogeneous
technologies. The goal of this group is to produce and promote a
technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network
slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised of
physical and logical connections in access, aggregation and backbone
networks as well as computing and storage elements. Service functions
associated with a network slice include network functions and network
function chains pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure
elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning
across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing
IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works in data,
control and management planes.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric
management plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse
technology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial
reasons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used
for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and
inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of
network slicing being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network
infrastructures and services functions. Major characteristics include:

- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform
manner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or
administrative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage
network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice
provider (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator
(NSO) over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also
be used between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical
management through the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will
be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface
(CSI) exposed by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand
measurement) within their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice,
accounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity,
compute, storage resources, network and service functions =E2=80=94 this
information model includes the representation of managed objects and
corresponding management and operations, will guide the design of data
models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities
on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including
high-level parameters for network infrastructures and service functions,
together with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults,
performance, status information and performance guarantees for certain
services.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including
deploying network services over a slice.

The WG will specify management requirements and functionalities of data
plane entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices. For
example, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement,
or gateway functionalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the
abstract information model and managed entities, and will liaise with other
IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate existing
device models and data plane technologies.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of
documents as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics
described above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Specify management requirements and functionalities of data plane
entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices.
- Information and corresponding data models related to the mappings towards
specific data plane technologies and coordination with relevant WGs as
needed.

Subject:Re: [Netslices] Preliminary charter text for discussion

Thanks Jeff, here is an updated text to address some of your points (removi=
ng the lists of technologies and the "study" entry).
For the last deliverable I followed your suggestion to replace "study". Oth=
ers may want to discuss/reword this later, but we need a version for the Bo=
F proposal.
Best Regards,
Xavier.


I. Context

A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions =
that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry =
vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single domai=
n or across multiple domains, and they may use heterogeneous technologies. =
The goal of this group is to produce and promote a technology-independent a=
nd resource-centric management plane for network slices. Resources associat=
ed with a network slice are normally comprised of physical and logical conn=
ections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing a=
nd storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slice incl=
ude network functions and network function chains pre-defined using corresp=
onding network infrastructure elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IE=
TF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works in data, con=
trol and management planes.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for sp=
ecific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative =
management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing=
 being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and s=
ervices functions. Major characteristics include:

- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used=
 between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management thro=
ugh the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to t=
enants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed =
by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) wi=
thin their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =97 this information mode=
l includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding manageme=
nt and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and =
also will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify management requirements and functionalities of data pla=
ne entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices. For exampl=
e, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gate=
way functionalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstrac=
t information model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF W=
Gs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate existing device=
 models and data plane technologies.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Specify management requirements and functionalities of data plane entitie=
s as needed to enable the operation of network slices.
- Information and corresponding data models related to the mappings towards=
 specific data plane technologies and coordination with relevant WGs as nee=
ded.

Hi Young and Daniele,


Thanks for your comments.


This is a extremely good topic to discuss which could help COMS to have mor=
e clearer and concise problem space


In COMS, we endeavor to avoid any duplicated work also on network configura=
tion model. We also encourage this been done preferably in individual exist=
ing WGs, in which the underlay dataplane is willing to be considered as res=
ource components of a network slice.


The generic network configuration model was discussed under an assumption t=
hat there is a need to coordinate independent administrative domains. We le=
ave an open space for such domains to either use specific models (likely to=
 be defined within the domain and can be used solely without the awareness =
of network slice. i.e. ACTN MPI),, or use the generic ones provided by COMS=
 (likely to be general and simple exclusively designed for mapping of slice=
-level requirements to network configurations, and only serve for COMS-enab=
led systems).


This thought was base on the concerns similar to ETSI VNFM architecture whi=
ch can be find here http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/NFV-IFA/001_099/009=
/01.01.01_60/gs_NFV-IFA009v010101p.pdf. VNFM can be seen as a orchestrator =
for services and it shares many design methodology with the network slice o=
rchestrator in COMS.

The vendor-specific VNFMs are more flexible, where the generic VNFM provide=
 compulsory functionalities. It may be beneficial for COMS to look at gener=
ic models for most basic OAMs for the use at the convenience of individual =
administrative domains.

But personal I use "may" in the context since this could be a open topic fo=
r future study and discussion as COMS proceeds.

Best wishes
Liang

Hi Liang,



Yes when I said SBI, I meant device configuration model. So I think there i=
s no issue around this that COMS would not duplicate this model.



But I think you talked about the network configuration model to be generic.=
 Is this part of the scope of COMS? I heard COMS would focus on customer se=
rvice model and service delivery model, correct? Then network configuration=
 model is not the scope of COMS? By the way generic network configuration m=
odel has been one of the foci of MPI of ACTN work in TEAS WG.



Thanks.

Young

Hi Young,



I believe that our discussion has different reference points for SBI.



I might be wrong but I understand that by saying SBI you mean device config=
uration model. At this point we are aligned, as Jeff and Xavier also pointe=
d out, that COMS will not duplicate these device model works.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Liang,



The SBI work in TEAS has IP/MPLS, Segment Routing, OTN, WDM (with CCAMP) in=
 scope. What is technology-independent, generic data plane on SBI? We canno=
t really separate data plane technology from the model on SBI.



Thanks.

Hi Jeff and all,



I think what COMS is dealing with in terms of SBI is more relevant to netwo=
rk configuration models.



Technology-dependent ones may be done in existing WGs (i.e. TEAS-ACTN) whil=
st COMS may endeavor to examine generic ones.



Best wishes

Liang

Hi Jeff,



I think we may understand this sentence from another perspective. As you sa=
id, there are a number of network/device configuration models, and their ex=
tension/mapping work is better to be done in corresponding WGs. For those t=
echnologies that are not chartered by relevant WGs, the mapping/extension w=
ork could be done in COMS if needed. What do you think?



Best regards,

Cristina QIANG

Hi,



I don=92t think this is right thing to do, device models would be number of=
 layers below where you=92d be operating.

You might use draft-ietf-opsawg-service-model-explained as a reference.

Thanks Kiran, yes, I think one example is draft-homma-coms-slice-gateway, w=
hich looks at the technology-independent requirements on some data plane eq=
uipment. One interest of this is to help determine the appropriate abstract=
ions and attributes to use in the models.

Your wording looks good but I guess we can wait a bit longer for other comm=
ents (here on the list and during tomorrow's COMS proponents meeting).

I think what you are trying to say is that equipment configurations may nee=

If yes, then instead of use of =93study=94, we could say something to the e=

Thanks for clarifying the text Pedro. For reference and as base for future =
comments, here is a fixed version of the full text with your wording.

Regards,

Xavier.

I. Context

A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote a technology-independent and resource-cen=
tric management plane for network slices. Resources associated with a netwo=
rk slice are normally comprised of physical and logical connections in acce=
ss, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elem=
ents. Service functions associated with a network slice include network fun=
ctions and network function chains pre-defined using corresponding network =
infrastructure elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IE=
TF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works such as:
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for sp=
ecific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative =
management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing=
 being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and s=
ervices functions. Major characteristics include:
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used=
 between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management thro=
ugh the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to t=
enants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed =
by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) wi=
thin their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =97 this information mode=
l includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding manageme=
nt and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and =
also will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstract informat=
ion model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as need=
ed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate data plane technologies i=
ncluding DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=
d above in the scope section.
- SDI and CSI interface specifications and relevant YANG models.
- Study the mappings of technology independent network equipment configurat=
ions derived from the information model towards specific technologies and c=
oordination with relevant WGs as needed.

<p style=3D"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The generic network configuration=

I. Context<br>
<br>
A network slice is a set of related infrastructure resources and service fu=
nctions with qualities that respond to specific requirements, being able to=
 cross multiple domains and use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of thi=
s group is to produce and promote
 a technology-independent and resource-centric management plane for network=
 slices. Resources associated with a network slice are normally comprised o=
f physical and
<span class=3D"x_xxm964199367954095644gmail-im">logical connections in acce=
ss, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing and storage elem=
ents. Service functions associated with a network slice include network fun=
ctions and network function chains
 pre-defined using corresponding network infrastructure elements.</span><br=
>
<br>
A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologies =
spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on e=
xisting IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works su=
ch as:<br>
- Data plane: DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
- Controller and/or control plane: ACTN, PCE and RSVP-TE (requiring LDP, BG=
P, OSPF awareness at level below) etc.<br>
- Management plane: YANG, OAM etc.<br>
<br>
The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption
 on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to d=
efine a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential=
 for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heteroge=
neous network infrastructures and
 services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<=
br>
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.<br>
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br>
<br>
II. Scope<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface
 (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, =
enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnet=
s. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Cust=
omer Service Interface (CSI) exposed
 by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) w=
ithin their slice instance under certain policies.<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =97 this information mode=
l includes the representation of managed
 objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design=
 of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interwork=
ing.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:<br>
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.<br>
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements and functionalities of data plane entities=
 as needed to enable the management of network slices. For example, this ma=
y include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gateway functi=
onalities. The WG will also study
 the mapping between the abstract information model and managed entities, a=
nd will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG will not atte=
mpt to replicate data plane technologies including DetNet, TE-Tunnels, MPLS=
, Segment Routing VPNs, NVO3 etc.<br>
<br>

Thanks Jeff, here is an updated text to address some of your points (removi=
ng the lists of technologies and the "study" entry).
For the last deliverable I followed your suggestion to replace "study". Oth=
ers may want to discuss/reword this later, but we need a version for the Bo=
F proposal.
Best Regards,
Xavier.


I. Context

A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions =
that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry =
vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single domai=
n or across multiple domains, and they may use heterogeneous technologies. =
The goal of this group is to produce and promote a technology-independent a=
nd resource-centric management plane for network slices. Resources associat=
ed with a network slice are normally comprised of physical and logical conn=
ections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as computing a=
nd storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slice incl=
ude network functions and network function chains pre-defined using corresp=
onding network infrastructure elements.

A "Network Slice" is realized using a collection of technologies spanning a=
cross data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on existing IE=
TF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works in data, con=
trol and management planes.

The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption on which technology is used for sp=
ecific domains. The goal of COMS is to define a common and inter-operative =
management mechanism, which is essential for the concept of network slicing=
 being adopted in a system with heterogeneous network infrastructures and s=
ervices functions. Major characteristics include:

- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.

II. Scope

The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used=
 between network slice orchestrators, enabling hierarchical management thro=
ugh the notion of network slice subnets. Network slices will be leased to t=
enants, which will be able to use Customer Service Interface (CSI) exposed =
by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) wi=
thin their slice instance under certain policies.

The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =97 this information mode=
l includes the representation of managed objects and corresponding manageme=
nt and operations, will guide the design of data models on SDI and CSI and =
also will enable orchestrators interworking.

The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.

The WG will specify management requirements and functionalities of data pla=
ne entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices. For exampl=
e, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gate=
way functionalities. The WG will also study the mapping between the abstrac=
t information model and managed entities, and will liaise with other IETF W=
Gs as needed. However, the WG will not attempt to replicate existing device=
 models and data plane technologies.

III. Deliverables

WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:
- Problem statement and use cases for management of network slices.
- Architecture of network slices.
- Information model(s) and operations for network slices on topics describe=

I think, informational and corresponding data models would be a better desc=

Thanks!

<div>Thanks Jeff, here is an updated text to address some of your points (r=
emoving the lists of technologies and the &quot;study&quot; entry).</div>
<div>For the last deliverable I followed your suggestion to replace &quot;s=
tudy&quot;. Others may want to discuss/reword this later, but we need a ver=
sion for the BoF proposal.<br>

<div>Best Regards,</div>

<div>I. Context<br>
<br>
A network slice is a set of infrastructure resources and service functions =
that has attributes specifically designed to meet the needs of an industry =
vertical or a service. Network slices may be instantiated in a single domai=
n or across multiple domains, and
 they may use heterogeneous technologies. The goal of this group is to prod=
uce and promote a technology-independent and resource-centric management pl=
ane for network slices. Resources associated with a network slice are norma=
lly comprised of physical and logical
 connections in access, aggregation and backbone networks as well as comput=
ing and storage elements. Service functions associated with a network slice=
 include network functions and network function chains pre-defined using co=
rresponding network infrastructure
 elements.<br>
<br>
A &quot;Network Slice&quot; is realized using a collection of technologies =
spanning across data, control and management planes. Many of them rely on e=
xisting IETF technologies including both concluded and in-progress works in=
 data, control and management planes.<br>
<br>
The foundation of COMS is a technology-independent and resource-centric man=
agement plane. In reality, the network slice provider may have diverse tech=
nology choices in different domains due to geographical and commercial reas=
ons. Therefore, COMS makes no assumption
 on which technology is used for specific domains. The goal of COMS is to d=
efine a common and inter-operative management mechanism, which is essential=
 for the concept of network slicing being adopted in a system with heteroge=
neous network infrastructures and
 services functions. Major characteristics include:<br>
<br>
- Enabling composition of slices within a single or over multiple domains.<=
br>
- Allowing the operation and management of a network slice in a uniform man=
ner, even when this network slice span multiple technology and/or administr=
ative domains.<br>
- Enabling deployment of services over individual slices.<br>
<br>
II. Scope<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an overall architecture for network slicing. To manage=
 network slices in a technology-independent manner, the network slice provi=
der (NSP) will need to communicate with a network slice orchestrator (NSO) =
over a COMS Service Delivery Interface
 (SDI). The COMS SDI can also be used between network slice orchestrators, =
enabling hierarchical management through the notion of network slice subnet=
s. Network slices will be leased to tenants, which will be able to use Cust=
omer Service Interface (CSI) exposed
 by the NS provider to run management tasks (e.g., on-demand measurement) w=
ithin their slice instance under certain policies.<br>
<br>
The WG will describe an information model representing a network slice, acc=
ounting for the key elements used in network slices: connectivity, compute,=
 storage resources, network and service functions =97 this information mode=
l includes the representation of managed
 objects and corresponding management and operations, will guide the design=
 of data models on SDI and CSI and also will enable orchestrators interwork=
ing.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify requirements, operations and management functionalities=
 on network slicing interfaces SDI and/or CSI including:<br>
1 Network slice service profile, e.g. set by NSP over SDI, including high-l=
evel parameters for network infrastructures and service functions, together=
 with their corresponding performance requirements.<br>
2 Lifecycle management of network slice.<br>
3 Other FCAPS functions. An important task of NSP is to aggregate faults, p=
erformance, status information and performance guarantees for certain servi=
ces.<br>
4 Slice composition or stitching in multi-domain environment.<br>
5 Slice management by the tenant under the control of NSP, including deploy=
ing network services over a slice.<br>
<br>
The WG will specify management requirements and functionalities of data pla=
ne entities as needed to enable the operation of network slices. For exampl=
e, this may include abstractions of policy control and enforcement, or gate=
way functionalities. The WG will
 also study the mapping between the abstract information model and managed =
entities, and will liaise with other IETF WGs as needed. However, the WG wi=
ll not attempt to replicate existing device models and data plane technolog=
ies.<br>
<br>
III. Deliverables<br>
<br>
WG deliverables are listed below and may be split in any number of document=
s as determined by the WG:<br>

Dear all netslices,

The stable version of COMS BoF proposal has been uploaded onto the IETF BoF=
 WiKi page https://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/. Six associated documents =
are linked. No further modification would be made unless the responsible AD=
s explicitly ask or made by themselves directly.

Dear all,

A quick note to let you know that the COMS BoF has been approved, as a 
non WG forming.

We believe that the questions to be answered are:
- clarify the problem space
- find out whether IETF is the right place for this type of top down 
approach
- how would that top down approach meet bottom up (being worked on in 
different WGs)

Regards, Benoit

11th February 2018,



Dear Benoit and All


Thank you for your message and for the opportunity to present and =
support the need for the COMS work scope at IETF101.

Already in the last 3 weeks the proponents of the BoF have reviewed the =
scope of our planed presentations with the focus on answering the 3 main =
questions:

- clarity on the COMS problem space

- clarity on the need at IETF of the COMS top down approach (i.e. =
designing COMS components and their interworking interfaces)  with links =
to the bottom-up issues.

 -clarity on the link of the COMS top down approach with the other =
relevant  bottom up work  (being worked on in different WGs)=20

We as BoF proponents are planning to present our views on the above =
questions at the next IETF101 BoF provided that the agenda would permit =
it.



I have 2 additional important issues, which I would like to bring to =
your attention:

1. At the last IETF100 an excellent presentation was made by Jari Arkko =
& Jeff Tantsura & Joel Halpern & Bal=C3=A1zs Varga (i.e. =
=E2=80=9CConsiderations on Network Virtualization and Slicing=E2=80=9D- =
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/100/materials/agenda-100-rtgwg). =
This presentation proposed a number of IETF work items related to =
network slicing including the need to "Connect the top-down and =
bottom-up approaches to thinking about virtualization and slicing=E2=80=9D=
 which I fully agree with.

As such I strongly support and kindly suggest that Jari make an updated =
presentation at the next IETF101 BoF provided that the agenda would =
permit it and also provided that Jari is willing and available to do so.=20=


2. In line with RFC 5434 we as COMS promoters are kindly asking you and =
the selected BoF chairs for the lion share of the presentation time =
budget at the next IETF101 COMS BoF.=20

This would allow us to properly answer to your focus questions and also =
initiate an understanding on what the real, underlying high & low levels =
problems are that the tenants, operators and deployers of a network =
slicing technology have and that the COMS work needs to address at IETF. =
 As such in line with RFC 5434 guidelines the presentations that are not =
directly related to the COMS area should be limited and they should not =
open up ratholes that are a distraction to the more basic purpose of the =
BOF.

I hope that the above would be of help and also meeting with your =
approval.

Please advise

Thank you in advance

Best Regards

Alex

(as one of the COMS proponent)

All,

Gonzalo and I have just been chatting with the (three) OPS ADs about how to
handle this BoF.

The first thing to note is that it is a non-WG-forming BoF. That means that
discussions of "What the WG will do" or "What the WG charter will look like"
need not trouble us. We can focus on what the problem space is and what work the
IETF might do without worrying about how that work might be split up or packaged
for specific WGs.

Second thing to note is that we have 2 hours. You can achieve a lot in 2 hours,
but you have to focus. You have to know what it is you want to say and why. You
can't spend time on peripherals or waffle.

In trying to work out what would constitute a "successful BoF" we decided that
the answer is clarity of understanding. If, at the end of the BoF the people in
the room (and especially the OPS ADs) have a good, clear, and shared
understanding of the following points, we will have succeeded. The ideal would
be that, after the BoF, anyone from the room could explain these points to a
newcomer.

- What is the problem space? This is not just what is in scope, but also what is
out of scope. In particular, it is the focus of the problem: *the* thing that
you want to achieve in an operational network.

- What is your proposed solution architecture?

- What interfaces (precisely!) are you proposing should be
   worked on?

- What deliverables do you envision and (since no one can have
   everything they want immediately) how would you prioritize the
   deliverables and where would you draw the line between "must
   have" and "can live without for now"?

- How does this proposed work relate to other IETF work? Building
  a relationship with other work can help people see the bigger
  picture. How does other IETF work interface to this solution?

- Is this "top-down" approach consistent with the way the IETF works?
   Should some or all of the work be located in another body or within
   OpenSource? Why?

I suggest not leaping in at once with responses to these points: you don't need
to convince your chairs, you need to work out how to convince your audience. You
need to be working on the list to plan how to tackle this question.

I also suggest you hold back on agenda requests or proposals. That will all
become clear when you know what/how you want to explain.

 Instead, spend some time getting clear in your heads what it is that people
commonly misunderstand about this work and how it could be explained better.
What is the core essence that has to be got over to the audience, and what is
marginal or add-on that could be left out of explanations? Where do you need to
use new/different words to convey meaning that is (overly) familiar to you?
Where would a picture serve better than words?

Our job as BoF chairs will be to help you achieve these things, but also to be
hard in our friendship! Expect us to stir things up a bit to make you all (and
your audience) think. Expect us to insist on you injecting a good dose of
reality into what you say. Expect hard questions.

Best,
Adrian (per pro Gonzalo)

Dear All,



According to ADs and chairs=92 suggestion and our previous discussion, I su=
ggest we present COMS proposal during the BoF referring to the following th=
inking flow based on the 3 main questions asked by Benoit.



Q1 Clarifying the problem space



First, introduce typical use cases of COMS

         -Use case 1: Combination of networking and computing resources

         -Use case 2: Technology diversity of network infrastructure



The uses cases will help to derive the required problem space of COMS, i.e.=
 unified slice management in heterogeneous environment.



Then a simple architecture view is presented to clarify the scope. The inte=
rfaces/models COMS will work on should be precisely highlighted.

         -In scope: Service Model, Service Delivery Model, Information Mode=
l

         -Out of scope: New forwarding technology, New device configuration=
 model, New network configuration model.





Q2 Find out whether IETF is the right place for this type of top down appro=
ach



This question could be justified from two aspects.



-External aspect (Top down): network slicing is indeed a top-down requireme=
nt triggered by new vertical industry services. However, within IETF, it do=
es not necessarily ask for new forwarding technology. Nevertheless, a slice=
-level management must be provided by IETF to enable slicing capability amo=
ng existing IETF forwarding technologies.



-Internal aspect (Bottom up): Nowadays, existing IETF technologies either e=
volves (e.g. DETNET) or naturally support (e.g. VPN) certain resource dedic=
ation mechanism. This is in line with the concept of network slicing. Howev=
er, A big problem is that IETF has little tools for cross-domain management=
 (draft-arkko-arch-virtualization-00<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft=
-arkko-arch-virtualization/>).



These two aspects meet a common convergence. Hence, COMS response to the co=
nverged requirement, which is not a result from a solely top-down approach.





Q3 How would that top down approach meet bottom up (being worked on in diff=
erent WGs)



The information model of COMS serves as the key element for the convergence=
. It provides guidance for the design of service (deliver) model. And it al=
so provides slice-level abstraction reference for existing IETF forwarding =
technologies. This information model should be a comprehensive set of abstr=
action. Each single technology typically refer to a subset of this informat=
ion model towards slice-level abstraction process. During the BoF, this sho=
uld be carefully explained.



Based on the methodology above, we suggest the following organization of th=
e presentation materials from the proponents.



1 presentation to answer Q1. Materials are derived from Use Case, Architect=
ure and Problem statement drafts.



1 presentation to answer both Q2 and Q3. Materials are derived from Archite=
cture and Information model drafts.



I suggest that the above 2 presentations jointly ask for about 60 mins =96 =
however the time arrangement is up to the Chairs to coordinate.



No discussion on technical solution details are suggested during this BoF.



Comments are extremely welcome!



Best wishes,

Liang
