[Nsi-wg] Draft NSI Connection Service Protocol document

[John MacAuley]

Guy,

Going through the last of the requested WSDL changes I remembered this thread I had started off as a result of the ESnet comments from Chin.  We have not yet adopted this change into any of the specifications.  Should we do this today, or do you feel it is too late to make the cosmetic change?

John.

I dropped of the WG call this week when my mobile battery died, but I will assume a detailed discussion did not take place.  I did notice Guy changed the name of the cancel and release operation, so I thought I might bring up Chin's concerns again.  These are simple changes so I do not think they have much of an impact.  These are meant to line up the operations and state machine.

This is intended to incorporate both the NSI connection service protocol details and sufficient contextual discussion to allow this protocol to be implemented. There will no longer be an NSI connection service architecture document.
