[Nsi-wg] Service Termination Points

[John MacAuley]

Jerry,

So based on your definition below is STP == Endpoint Reference from an NSI protocol perspective?
Definitions:

Service Termination Point := 1. An abstract object that represents the ingress or egress point of a connection, or the abstract notion of a location in a topology where a connection could potentially originate or terminate.  2. A real point in a topology where a connection can originate or terminate.

Endpoint := In NSI, this is a location within a network that can be used as an endpoint for a connection.

Endpoint Reference := a two-tuple consisting of a {<network name>, <endpoint name>} .  An “endpoint reference” is this tuple, the “endpoint” itself is the topological location it identifies.

 John.
