[Nsi-wg] call tomorrow

[Inder Monga]

John,

For discussion tomorrow, a few questions:

1. We have narrowed down the definition of the Network Service Interface as an interface just to request transport connections. I think we need to be a bit careful of this narrowing of definition
"•NSI is the protocol that allows a user to request a transport connection from a provider (but not limited to)

2. Do we need transport user and transport provider definitions? I am not sure what purpose that serves...why not network services user and network services provider?

3.Slide 5:Actor may include multiple agents with interfaces to services managing other resources such as storage or compute"

If the context is NS Actor,  then it does not seem likely it will be managing other resources like compute and storage?  (ref slide 5 and 6)
There is a concept of multi-resource scheduler/actor, but that would be different from NS actor

4. Brokers and Wholesalers: Are we going out of scope by talking about different resources other than the network? Do we need to define these concepts within NSI?

Thanks,
Inder
