[Nsi-wg] Call tomorrow

[John Vollbrecht]

I attach a document that describes NSI in WS terms.  I would like to  
discuss it tomorrow on the call.    I am thinking perhaps we should  
stick to WS terminology and concepts for the first draft at least in  
order to make progress.

I have taken the terminology from reading WS doc.  It turns out to be  
slightly different than what we were using before, mostly in  
emphasis.  In particular, the distinction between agent and actor is a  
little fuzzier, with the interface being between requestor agent that  
wants the service for its owner and provider agent that supplies the  
service.  Actors come in only when discussing complex interactions  
between entities in particular infrastructure implementations.

I think this is helpful also in thinking about service plane and what  
it is, though this doc does not deal with that.

John
