Hi All 

Thank you for your participation in the NetSlicing BoF of Monday 17th July 2017 at IETF99 in Prague.

In order to move forward the willing volunteers who would like to contribute to the NetSlicing work for IETF100 are kindly invited to the next NetSlicing proponents call scheduled for Wednesday 26th July 2017 at 14:00 UK time.

Agenda would include a review of the work planed for IETF100 which may include a number of deliverables (drafts):

• An interface (YANG Data Model) from the management and orchestration system towards the transport part (i.e., new IPV6 based protocol to enable slicing in the transport part: ACTN, DETNET, Segment Routing ….)

• Description of an enhanced network underlay(s) which would be of utility for a use case or a group of use cases (i.e. guarantees for isolation; part of VPN++ as required) and interfacing towards the management and orchestration system. 

• Resource specification (abstract way of representing the transport) and an interface towards the management and orchestration system.

• NS Management & Orchestration:

 - Protocol based E2E orchestration /coordination enabling composition/decomposition of net slices
 - Protocol based monitoring & discovery of net slicing
 - Common net slicing template [i.e. 1. description of Service Instance Components; 2. description of Network Functions Instance Components; 3. description of connectivity, compute, storage resources; 4. description of Slice Element Manager and Capability exposure component]

If interested please send me ([email-masked]) a message for inclusion in the Net Slicing call list for the next period (i.e. July - November 2017)

Thank you in advance

Best Regards
Alex
