Something that seems to be missing from this work are the concepts of
isolation and latency
which seem to be requirements for services of the type described in this
document.

We latency has two components, the physical latency of the path due to
distance, and
latency due to waiting for other packets. Clearly optimizing the paths
traffic takes
is the key to addressing the delay to physical path length, and
considering congestion
effects, bandwidth management and the choice of bearer technology impact
the second.

I did not see any mention of latency in the abstract interface to the
SDN system and
yet to address that emergent requirement it needs to be there.

Secondly I understand that isolation is an emergent requirement.
Isolation can
take many forms. The most common is the need to avoid traffic leakage,
but it
can also include the need to avoid control plane interactions whereby
the demands
of one service impact another, and data plane interaction where a heavy
demand
by one virtual service spills over into latency effects in another, at
least in
classic network layer technologies such as MPLS-Tx.

If you remember Jie and I worked on a problem statement draft

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dong-network-slicing-problem-statement-00

We would be interested peoples views on whether this is on track, what
needs changing and what is missing.

Thanks

Dear All


Re: Minutes of the Network Slicing meeting at IETF 97  -  67 =
participants signed the attendance sheet.

=20
Please find for your reference the enclosed minutes of the Network =
Slicing meeting at IETF 97 of 15th November 2016.

This meeting included 4 presentations on Network Slicing problem =
statement, 3 specific IETF drafts under progress and comments and =
discussion.

One of the action from this meeting that was based on unanimous interest =
on working on slicing at IETF was to consolidate all suggestions and =
comments into an unified problem statement and work plan which would be =
the basis of a non-WG BoF at IETF 98 or IETF99.

An initial draft is ready for your review and it will posted to the =
mailing list < NetSlices@ietf.org> early next week.

Best Regards

Alex

Network Slicing Side Meeting

Nov 14, 2016, 19:00-21:00, Studio 3

67 People signed the attendance sheet.

0.    General Admin

Jie Dong introduced the purpose of the meeting.

Services have unique requirements, end-2-end slicing is required for 5G. =
Among definitions we need to establish common definition.
Purpose is to have a common view of what network slicing is in IETF.

List request has been sent to Deborah (Routing Area AD).

1. Network slicing problem statement    Stewart Bryant

=
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dong-network-slicing-problem-statement-0=
0

Presentation:

What is to be done in IETF, what existing and new work?

Existing definition
-    NGMN
-    3GPP
-    ITU-T (FG IMT-2020)
-    IETF?

Requirements of Network Slicing
-    Isolation/separation
-    Customization of topology
-    Flexibility of topology
-    Guaranteed QoS
-    Management consideration

What should be definition of network slicing in IETF ?
What is needed beyond connectivity?

What is the scope of network slicing in IETF?

How much can existing/on-going tech meet the reqt?

Discussion/Questions:

Comment 1. IETF is protocol-oriented, how would slicing change the =
semantics of existing protocols?

Stewart: We typically have a set of tools designed for best-effort =
fabrics and adding BW, these are not scalable and we need some =
additional scheduling.

Comment 2. We typically build separate networks for banking and other =
low latency apps, this is not economical. Isolation and security are =
weak points.

Comment 3. What are the performance and isolation requirements? Does =
this mean statistical sharing is out of scope? Fixed fraction of b/w =
seems to be a must.

Stewart: There will be a spectrum of requirements, different QoS for =
different application, we may need some packet scheduling.Do we need =
isolation using mechanisms like IEEE (time sensitive networking ? TSN) =
or detnet. If its bit-level, we will go back to TDM.

Andrew: isolation and security is the biggest challenge, figure out how =
to provide banking applications in economic manner, such as a slice. =
Packet scheduling at buffer and line speed level is not enough we need =
to adapt to packet changes at micro-level
(it was quietly mentioned, we are not thinking at bit-level but focus at =
packet level).

Comment 4. Look at 5G applications for machine critical, interface b/w =
down to radio is key, we may adapt BW based on radio capacity, Internet =
does not do this today, we need to figure this out.

Stewart: It may be a packet level.  factoring into a lower layer is an =
issue

Comment 5. Can we define slicing??

Stewart: We can also agree on an existing definition, which would be =
useful.

Comment 6. Generalised packet networks are not suitable for hard packet =
tunnels.

Comment 7. Dave Allen (Ericsson):  slicing definition leave it open =
disjoint resource like wavelength is considered in other forum as the =
only way to achieve isolation. e.g. WDM-PON, wavelengths allocated per =
slice. (Young Lee added that WSON controller is already doing this). =
What does packet have to do if isolation cannot be guaranteed?

2. Autonomic slice networking    Alex Galis

Presentation:
=
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-galis-anima-autonomic-slice-networking-0=
0

Generation 1 - Resource partition of network resource is one definition.
Generation 2 - Network function and services are another definition of =
network slicing.
Generation 3 - Grouping of partitioning of 5G slicing
Generation 4 - Management and control and advertisement has to be added =
to the Network slicing definition

ANIMA - unified network slicing definition in the context of autonomic =
networking

- The service instance component
- A network slice instance component
- Resource component
- Slice capability exposure component

Suggested 15 work items and issues

Discussion/Questions:

Comment 1. Dino: asked difference between horizontal and vertical =
slicing. Vertical slicing, can an application be a member of multiple =
slices? Will Extranet be required? For horizontal slicing, would it be =
stitching or something else? These would be for customers ill shared =
services and isolation for specific VPN connectivity

Alex: Yes, level of abstraction and level of isolation need to be =
considered, and separate control may also be needed.

Stewart: We may see both models

Comment 2. This complicates the solution space.

Alex: This is not an intent to recreate a VPN technology.

Comment 3. Feels like IETF is lagging in industry work, upper service =
layer which drives network resources. OpenSource is already ahead/doing =
some of this, slicing is mainly multi-tenant, this is not rocket science =
or new. They are trying to map existing technology like VXLAN and =
mapping it into YANG. Is there a new architecture and protocol required? =
what is the role of IETF? API ? application level TOSCA; policy; YANG; =
already in place in industry. Question is where is the gap? Map to =
protocol of new or existing protocols.

Stewart: Those are the questions we are asking at the start of the =
session.

Comment 4.  Slicing is a service definition, where is the gap?
Categorise them and see if we need new protocols, or adapt existing.

Alex: Yes, at least 15 problems, these are not supported by existing =
protocols.

Comment 5. We have a slicing architecture (as part of a H2020 project), =
and service orchestrator, we then define flows which are application =
specific: IoT, video, etc.

Comment 6. Ravi: IMT-2020 challenge was that service context could be =
only identified by flow tuple in cp, dp and mgmt. Also slicing is =
interesting for ICN as it allows new architectures and new properites =
per slice basis.

3. Architecture for delivering multicast mobility services using network =
slicing Truong-Xuan Do

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xuan-dmm-multicast-mobility-slicing-00

Presentation:

Multicast functionality is different for say broadcast, mobility etc =
cases, so there is a need to function decomposition and function =
chaining.

Discussion/Questions:

Comment 1. You are aware of DMM working group, DMM FTC draft defines a =
model that covers this. I think the group does not have a good =
definition of "slice", domain is similar with 5G slice. I think it=E2=80=99=
s not clear what a slice is.

Stewart: This is why we are here; do we need to define "slice"?

4. ACTN and network slicing - Daniele Ceccarelli

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-teas-actn-framework-01

Presentation:

Describe end to end L2VPN/L3VPN is not enough, so there are 3 different =
level of controls (CNC, PNC and MDSC for customer, physical, =
multi-domain network controls). Access points, per domain tunnels and =
inter-domain links. Customer is able to provide constraints during =
network provisioning.

Discussion/Questions:

Comment 1. Parviz: ACTN is a great piece of work, we have integrated =
based on this framework. We shipped and integrate into ONOS. ACTN is =
used for integrated packet optical SDN based solution. It is generalized =
for L0-L3 layers and need to be perhaps extended for L1,L2 and NS. ACTN =
seems to have a good starting point for network resource slicing and =
Detnet may be implementing a protocol solution for time-sensitive =
networking.

Comment 2. Do you slice at the lower/physical lower and provide a slice =
to the customer? So they can modify network resource, based on their =
specific slice? Customer may just want the resource, not a solution, =
they want to manage it by themselves.

Daniele:  Yes, they can manage their own resource.

Young Lee: VNF connectivity is included in the solution.

Alex: Maybe methods for slicing exist, the management methods for =
specific applications and network functions are missing.

Comment 3. ACTN has multiple topology descriptions (physical, virtual =
and customer), can it support end to end slicing with applications?

YoungLee:  ACTN also support NFV-constraints as part of abstraction and =
connectivity.

Comment 4. Looking at ACTN it seems it can abstract multiple physical =
domains and give us a logical view of TE/transport.

Daniele: ACTN introduces virtual networking, between MDSC and CNC, =
beneath PNC, its technology/vendor specific.

Comment 5: Why ACTN for network slicing? Does it support hierarchy?

YoungLee: Yes. It does via MDSC-MDSC recursion.

Comment 6. ACTN is for multi-domain. How about for a single domain?

YoungLee: Yes, multi-domain solution includes single-domain, which is =
easier.

Comment 7. For 5G transport, IETF has a role to play. Front-haul, =
back-haul and cross haul need transport network abstraction which is =
needed for 5G network. Orchestration federation takes each component  to =
give end-to-end solution.


Georgios: Asked how does it do QoS besides partitioning of n/w =
resources.

Ans: Whatever TC can do is supported

Pedro: There are 2 aspects of slices - an act of creating it, and second =
customizing and managing it in isolation is second part of the problem.

Comment: Service abstraction layer is missing and Information models.

Seil: is there a gap to be discussed.

Natasha from GSMA: not duplicate the work of other SDOs, if work needs =
to evolve they will let IETF specific group know.

Wim from Nokia: slicing includes all - management, applications, radio =
etc beyond transport.

Chris Seal: we need a stable platform first that doesnt exist.

Loa: non WG BOF can be done, it is way too early to exclude from IETF

Dave Allend: so many people are working on it. Problem space need to be =
deconstructed, work needs to be done in totality of it.

Jonas: can we invite 3GPP for next meeting?

5. Open Discussion 60 mins

Stewart posed several questions

1. Does the IETF need to work on slicing?   Yes

2. Does existing technologies solve the full set of slicing =
requirements?   No

Comments:

Already there are several slice definitions, educating and agreeing =
definitions is useful

- Suggest we allow implementations first using existing solutions, using =
the tools which are already available.

- Network slicing is important; it needs to be end-to-end and the IETF =
has be involved. We also need to engage with other SDOs (3GPP, et =
al.),including inviting the (SDOs) to participate in a BoF.

- ACTN seems like a good starting point, maybe this needs to be extended =
for additional technologies like Radio

- A lot of this discussion needs to be relevant to the IETF, what's on =
and in the wire

- Process from here for the discussion, is non-WG BoF and then =
WG-forming BoF. We should not exclude a potential WG on this topic, we =
should prepare and investigate, then if we decide not to form that=E2=80=99=
s better than not being able to form due to a lack of investigation =
work.

- One reason for lots of slicing definitions is the fact so many people =
are working on this topic. Across different areas and functions =
(controllers, orchestrations), and scheduling and APIs. We would need to =
deconstruct the problem space to understand what is needed, and how the =
IETF can help.

- Of the questions asked through show of hands, people favored forming a =
non-working group and agreed this is an area IETF can work into.

- Identifying gaps from IETF perspective is the most important aspect.

3. Does the IETF need to focus discussion and develop tools for slicing?
(no discussion captured)

4. Interests to work on slicing?  A lot

5. Willing to contribute to drafts and discussions? Some

Hello Jie and Stewart,

Thanks for drafting the problem statement, it's good to see interest in net=
work slicing outside of mobile standards. In fact, I think here is an oppor=
tunity to think of slicing as a network model, rather than purely a mobile =
model.

Network slicing should be considered a network technology, allowing for the=
 allocation and release of network resources according to the context and c=
ontention policy. Since many operators operate PLMN, fixed fibre broadband,=
 WiFi, Narrow Band IoT etc. networks then the benefits of slicing can inclu=
de handoff between access networks according to resource contention or othe=
r factors (such as mobility). So IMO the problem scope is broader than just=
 3GPP mobile access and core. I'm not familiar with network slicing discuss=
ions in non-mobile fora, so the problem statement may in fact stimulate tho=
se discussions.

Another comment is that the various service characteristics are mentioned t=
hroughout the draft - and you make the point that different services requir=
e different treatment - but I suggest that needs calling out in the introdu=
ction as it's so important. I have heard the misconception that 5G can simp=
ly be realised by building out capacity, to meet all service requirements i=
n a  'one (bigger) size fits all' approach. So strengthening the point that=
 requirements for latency, guaranteed delivery and pacing, durability (e.g.=
 waking up an IoT node twice a year), mobility, coverage, throughput all di=
ffer across service types and industries, is crucial upfront.

2.5. Management considerations: without opening a Net Neutrality can-o'-wor=
ms, it may be worth noting that the intention of slicing is to tailor treat=
ment towards the service type and delivery context, not tailoring towards a=
 particular customer or content provider.

And a couple of nits ;)
The goal of 5G -> A goal of 5G
s/bares further consideration/bears further consideration

All best,
Kevin

<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Hello Jie and Stewart,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Thanks for drafting the problem statement, it&#8217;=
s good to see interest in network slicing outside of mobile standards. In f=
act, I think here is an opportunity to think of slicing as a network model,=
 rather than purely a mobile model.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Network slicing should be considered a network techn=
ology, allowing for the allocation and release of network resources accordi=
ng to the context and contention policy. Since many operators operate PLMN,=
 fixed fibre broadband, WiFi, Narrow
 Band IoT etc. networks then the benefits of slicing can include handoff be=
tween access networks according to resource contention or other factors (su=
ch as mobility). So IMO the problem scope is broader than just 3GPP mobile =
access and core. I&#8217;m not familiar
 with network slicing discussions in non-mobile fora, so the problem statem=
ent may in fact stimulate those discussions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Another comment is that the various service characte=
ristics are mentioned throughout the draft - and you make the point that di=
fferent services require different treatment - but I suggest that needs cal=
ling out in the introduction as it&#8217;s
 so important. I have heard the misconception that 5G can simply be realise=
d by building out capacity, to meet all service requirements in a&nbsp; &#8=
216;one (bigger) size fits all&#8217; approach. So strengthening the point =
that requirements for latency, guaranteed delivery
 and pacing, durability (e.g. waking up an IoT node twice a year), mobility=
, coverage, throughput all differ across service types and industries, is c=
rucial upfront.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">2.5. Management considerations: without opening a Ne=
t Neutrality can-o&#8217;-worms, it may be worth noting that the intention =
of slicing is to tailor treatment towards the service type and delivery con=
text, not tailoring towards a particular
 customer or content provider.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">And a couple of nits ;)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">The goal of 5G -&gt; A goal of 5G<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">s/bares further consideration/bears further consider=
ation<o:p></o:p></p>

Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot for your comments.

I totally agree with you that network slicing is not only related to mobile=
, but also the fixed network, as in 5G end-to-end network slicing is requir=
ed to meet the diverse service requirements. The discussion about Network s=
licing of non-mobile networks can be found in ITU-T FG IMT-2020 and BBF, an=
d here we also want to identify the work needed in IETF. This draft was a p=
reliminary attempt to describe the problem statement of network slicing in =
the fixed networks part, and recently Stewart and I are working together wi=
th Alex and Kiran to update this problem statement. You input would be quit=
e helpful to the next revision of the problem statement document.

As you suggested, in the introduction of next revision, we will emphasize t=
hat different services require different treatment (bandwidth, latency, rel=
iability, etc.) , and simply adding capacity would not meet all those requi=
rements.

And I think your suggestion about the management consideration is valid, we=
 will revise the statement to reflect the service type/context based slicin=
g, while per customer or per content provider based treatment would be left=
 for further study.

Also thanks a lot for catching the nits, they will be corrected in next rev=
ision.

Best regards,
Jie

Subject: [Netslices] Problem statement comments

Hello Jie and Stewart,

Thanks for drafting the problem statement, it's good to see interest in net=
work slicing outside of mobile standards. In fact, I think here is an oppor=
tunity to think of slicing as a network model, rather than purely a mobile =
model.

Network slicing should be considered a network technology, allowing for the=
 allocation and release of network resources according to the context and c=
ontention policy. Since many operators operate PLMN, fixed fibre broadband,=
 WiFi, Narrow Band IoT etc. networks then the benefits of slicing can inclu=
de handoff between access networks according to resource contention or othe=
r factors (such as mobility). So IMO the problem scope is broader than just=
 3GPP mobile access and core. I'm not familiar with network slicing discuss=
ions in non-mobile fora, so the problem statement may in fact stimulate tho=
se discussions.

Another comment is that the various service characteristics are mentioned t=
hroughout the draft - and you make the point that different services requir=
e different treatment - but I suggest that needs calling out in the introdu=
ction as it's so important. I have heard the misconception that 5G can simp=
ly be realised by building out capacity, to meet all service requirements i=
n a  'one (bigger) size fits all' approach. So strengthening the point that=
 requirements for latency, guaranteed delivery and pacing, durability (e.g.=
 waking up an IoT node twice a year), mobility, coverage, throughput all di=
ffer across service types and industries, is crucial upfront.

2.5. Management considerations: without opening a Net Neutrality can-o'-wor=
ms, it may be worth noting that the intention of slicing is to tailor treat=
ment towards the service type and delivery context, not tailoring towards a=
 particular customer or content provider.

And a couple of nits ;)
The goal of 5G -> A goal of 5G
s/bares further consideration/bears further consideration

All best,
Kevin

1.  Introduction

   Network slicing (NS) refers to the managed partitions of physical
   and/or virtual network resources, network physical/virtual and
   service functions that can act as an independent instance of a
   network and/or as a network cloud.  Network resources include
   connectivity, compute and storage resources.

   Slices considerably transform the networking perspective by
   abstracting, isolating, orchestrating, softwarizing and separating
   logical network components from the underlying physical network
   resources and as such they enhance Internet architecture.

   For slice creation, the management plane creates the grouping of
   physical and virtual network resources, connects with the physical
   and virtual network and service functions as appropriate and it
   instantiates all the network and service functions assigned to the
   slice.  On the other hand for slice operations the slice control
   takes over the control and governing of all the network resources,
   network functions and service functions assigned to the slice, and
   (re-) configure them as appropriate and as per elasticity needs in
   order to provide an end-to-end service.

   Network operators can exploit NS to significantly reduce operations
   expenditures, and enable softwarization, programmability and the
   innovation necessary to enrich the offered services.  Network
   softwarization techniques [IMT2020-2015], [IMT2020-2016] may be used

   to realised and manage [MANO-2014] network slicing.  NS provides the
   means for the network operators to provide network programmable
   capabilities to OTT providers and other market players without
   changing their physical infrastructure.  NS enables the concurrent
   deployment of multiple logical, self-contained and independent,
   shared or partitioned networks on a common infrastructure.  Slices
   support also dynamic multi-services, multi-tenancy and the
   integration means for vertical market players.

   The purpose of NS work in IETF is to develop a set of protocols and/
   or protocol extensions that enable efficient slice creation,
   activation / deactivation, composition, elasticity, orchestration,
   management, isolation, guaranteed SLA and safe operations within a
   network or network cloud / data centre environment that assumes an IP
   and/or MPLS-based underlay.

   While there are, isolated efforts being carried out in several IETF
   working groups DETNET, [I-D.leeking-actn-problem-statement],
   [I-D.dong-network-slicing-problem-statement],
   [I-D.galis-anima-autonomic-slice-networking], [IETF-Slicing1],
   [IETF-Slicing2], [IETF-Slicing3], [IETF-Slicing4], [IETF-Slicing5] to
   achieve certain aspects of network slice functions and operations,
   there is a clear need to look at complete life-cycle management
   characteristics of network Slicing solutions though the discussions
   based on the following architectural tenets:

   o Underlay tenet: support for an IP/MPLS-based underlay data plane
   the transport network used to carry that underlay.

   o Governance tenet: a logically centralized authority for network
   slices in a domain.

   o Separation tenet: slices are independent and have appropriate
   degree of isolation (1) from each other.

   o Capability exposure tenet: each slice allows third parties to
   access via APIs information regarding services provided by the slice
   (e.g. connectivity information, QoS, mobility, autonomicity, etc.)
   within the limits set by the operator.

   NS approaches that do not adhere to these tenets are explicitly
   outside of the scope of the proposed work at IETF.

   In pursuit of the solutions described above, there is a need to
   document an architecture for network slicing within both wide area
   network and a data center environments.

Internet-Draft               NS Intro and PS                January 2017


   Elicitation of requirements ([RFC2119], [RFC4364]) for a network
   slice control and management planes and will be needed facilitating
   the selection, extension, and/or development of the protocol for each
   of the functional interfaces identified to support the architecture.

   Additionally, documentation on the common use-cases for slice
   validation for 5G is needed (e.g. mission-critical ultra-low latency
   communication services; massive-connectivity machine communication
   services - smart metering, smart grid and sensor networks; extreme
   QoS; Independent operations and management; Independent cost and/or
   energy optimisation; Independent multi-topology routing; multi-tenant
   operations, etc.).

   The proposed NS work would be co-ordinated with other IETF WGs (e.g.
   TEAS WG, DETNET WG, ANIMA WG, NETCONF WG, SUPA WG, NVO3 WG, Routing
   Area WG (RTGWG), Network Management Research Group (NMRG) and NFV
   Research Group (NFVRG)) to ensure that the commonalities and
   differences in solutions are properly considered.  Where suitable
   protocols, models or methods exist, they will be preferred over
   creating new ones.

1.1.  Notes

   (1) This issue require efficient interaction between an upper layer
   in the hierarchy and a lower layer for QoS guaranties and most of the
   operations on slicing.

2.  Suggested Problems and Work Areas

   The goal of this work is to develop one or more protocol
   specifications (or extensions to existing protocols) to address the
   following problem areas.  These problems were selected according to
   the analysis of the technical gaps in IETF protocols ecosystem.

   o Uniform Reference Model for Network Slicing; Describe all elements
   and instances of a network slice.  Describe shared non-sliced network
   parts.

   o Slice Templates: Design the slices to different scenarios
   ([ChinaCom-2009], [GENI-2009], [IMT2020-2016bis], [NGMN-2016],
   [NGS-3GPP-2016], [ONF-2016]); an appropriate slice template
   definition that may include capability exposure of managed partitions
   of physical and/or virtual network resources (i.e.  connectivity,
   compute and storage resources), physical and/or virtual network and
   service functions that can act as an independent network and/or as a
   network cloud.

   o Network slice expected capabilities (i.e. prioritization may be
   needed):

       * Four-dimensional efficient slice isolation with guarantees for
         isolation in Data / Control / Management / Service planes.
         Enablers for safe and efficient multi-tenancy in slices.

       * Methods to guarantee the end-to-end QoS of a slice.

       * Recursion - methods for NS segmentation allowing a slicing
         hierarchy with parent child relationships.

       * Efficiency in slicing: realize diverse requirements without
         re-engineering the infrastructure.

       * Customized security mechanisms per slice.

       * Enablers to manage the trade-offs between flexibility and
         efficiency in slicing.

       * Optimisation - methods for network resources automatic
         acquisition, global resource view formed; global energy view
         formed; Network Slice deployed based on global resource
         and energy efficiency; Mapping algorithms.

       * Monitoring status and behaviour of NS in a single and/or
         muti-domain environment.

       * Capability exposure for slices; APIs for slices.

       * Programmability and openness of network slices.

   o Network slice operations (i.e. prioritization may be needed):

    * Autonomic slice management and operation (i.e. self-configuration,
      self-composition, self-monitoring, self-optimisation,
      self-elasticity are carried as part of the slice protocols).

    * Slice stitching / composition: Enablers for efficient stitching /
      composition/ decomposition of slices:

        - vertically (service + management + control planes) and/or
        - horizontally (between different domains part of access,
          core, edge segments) and /or
        - vertically + horizontally.

    * E2E wireline network segments and network clouds orchestration
      of slices ([GUERZONI-2016], [KARL-2016]).

    * Service Mapping: Dynamic Mapping of Services to slices; YANG
      models for slices.

   o Efficient enablers for Integration of above capabilities and
   operations.

2.1.  Notes

   (2) Protection refers to the related mechanisms so that events within
   one slice, such as congestion, do not have a negative impact on
   another slice.

   (3) Elasticity refers to the mechanisms and triggers for the growth
   /shrinking of network resources, network and service functions.

   (4) Extensibility refers to the ability to expand a NS with
   additional functionality and/or characteristics or through
   modification of existing functionality/characteristics, while
   minimizing impact to existing functions.

   (5) Safety refers to the conditions of being protected against
   different types and the consequences of failure, error harm or any
   other event, which could be considered non-desirable.

Thank you for your expressed interest in the Network Slicing.

One of the action from the Network Slicing side meeting at IETF 97 of =
15th Nov 2016 was to consolidate all suggestions and comments received =
into an unified initial revised problem statement and work plan which =
would be the basis of a BoF at IETF 98 or IETF99. Such an introductory =
document is ready for your review and it is enclosed as a draft.
=20
Would you be so kind as to provide your feedback, comments, =
contributions and work interest with the view of further progressing =
this draft for un update and presentation at IETF 98.
=20
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards

Network Slicing - Introductory Document and Revised Problem Statement
=20
Abstract:
  This document represents an introduction to the motivation and
  Network Slicing problems and work ares. It represents an initial
  revision of Network Slicing problem statement derived from the
  analysis of the technical gaps in IETF protocols ecosystem. It
  complements and it bring together the isolated efforts being carried
  out in several IETF working groups to achieve certain aspects of
  network slice functions and operations.=

Hello

Thank you for taking the initiative in consolidating the problem statement =
for network slicing.

Here are my comments and questions to the draft.

The work area looks very wide even if you try to focus on network slicing i=
n transport networks. It looks to me that the use cases are very close if n=
ot the same as what is being discussed in the 3GPP. Should the draft focus =
only those use cases that are of relevance to transport? And how much to us=
e cases are then left? It seems that the slicing is more of a service provi=
sioning and management notion that transport.

Regarding the related and relevant IETF WGs you may also consider SFC WG. O=
ne could claim that the SFC protocol defined there has most of what is need=
ed for slicing as well.

The bullet item of Slice Templates that ties together connectivity, compute=
 and storage seems to demonstrate that slicing and service chaining will go=
 hand-in-hand. Equally, it shows similarly to the use case section that the=
 scoping to transport slicing is not yet crisp enough; i.e. what is the sco=
pe of the problem? What makes this as transport issue? Isn't this more of s=
ervice problem than transport resource issue. This would need more motivati=
on.

What is exactly "four-dimensional isolation"? What are the dimensions you a=
re referring to?

Best regards
Hannu Flinck
