[Nsi-wg] authority and delegation of authority in NS (Actor?)

[John Vollbrecht]

Attached is a two page ppt.  The first modifies Tomohiro's a little -  
and uses names from Joan.  The main modification other than names is  
that it removes the capability advertisement module.  The idea is that  
a single module provides "services" which may be called from outside  
or integrated in the actor itself.  We need to describe what these  
services do for the Actor, but not how they do it.  In my mind these  
are services that Chin has started to enumerate (except the resource  
coordination module).  The Aggregation/ coordination module in the pic  
is Chin's coordination and Tomohiro' aggregation module -- I think  
they are the same.  -- any thoughts?

The second shows resource delegation of authority (for a particular  
resource.  Note that the local RMM agent is  the ultimate authority  
for resources controlled by the RMM.   Given that the RMM agent is  
part of the Actor, the Actor is the ultimate authority for all  
resources controlled by the RMM.
Resources requested by the NSI are delegated from the remote NSA and  
may be redelegated (along with the local resources) to a requesting  
agent.
This, btw, is very similar if not identical to what in my  
understanding the ORCA and GENI frameworks do.  -- thoughts or  
questions?
