[Nsi-wg] Topology virtualisation

[Victor Reijs (work)]

But Gigi, perhaps I see this all as attributes for a domain (although it 
is perhaps more about the scope of number of interconnectivity in that 
domain, but I see HEAnet (the Irish NREN) also also only as connecting a 
lot of domains (of our clients and some international ones) and not 
really end-systems).

For me a GOLE is just a domain (with certain attributes and values).

All the best,


Victor
