Just a few minor comments on slide 5:

I think the current terminology is:

NSI                     G.800                   NML
Layer Topology          Layer Network           N/A
Subnetwork              Subnetwork              *Switch Matrix*
Link                    Link                    *N/A*
Port                    Link Point              Port
Forwarding Port         Forwarding Point        Port
Segment                 Link connection         *Link*
                        Subnet connection
                        segment
Access Port             Access *Group*          *N/A*

(PS: The fact that NML has a few N/A means it is not discussed yet, not
that it will not be defined: it will be defined later.)
