[Nsi-wg] Topology virtualisation

I think another key difference is that a GOLE has a high concentration 
of cross-border fibers which includes those that interconnects to other 
GOLEs. In my opinion distinguishing a GOLE from  a domain is useful for 
path computation. Also, we rarely find termination (compute, instrument, 
etc. ) points within GOLEs. Therefore, their  function is to primarily  
interconnect to other domains and GOLEs.

Thanks,
Gigi
