[Nsi-wg] Reservation request message

[Jerry Sobieski]

Hey John-

I have a few concerns about this sample Reservation Request:

- I chg'd security attributes to <sessionSecutiyAttrib>  as I believe 
there are two levels of authorization: First, the RA NSA must be 
authenticated and authorized to even talk to the PA NSA.   Second, the 
service request itself must be authorized by the network(s) along the 
path.   So I also added an authorization element to the service parameters

- I added a "serviceDefinition" field in the reservation request.   
While this could be omitted, I think its useful to explicitly state the 
service you are expecting...and it could help the pathfinder construct a 
candidate path.

- I put all schedule inside the service parameters - these are 
constraints on the service...not something independent of the service.

- Changed the STP names:  I added a "NORDUnet" network name and a simple 
"foo" local part just to make sure the request functions with these 
legal names.

- I removed the path object from the source and dest STPs - This is 
arguable, but I felt this was more consistent with the other service 
parameters.   I don't think we have a justification anymore for a 
PathObject with intermediate STPs...such a thing is just a Tree style 
segmentation.  But if folks want to keep this PO with the src and dst, I 
don't have a big deal with it.

I am almost of a mind to suggest we define all service parameters like 
you did the security attributes:
<attribute>
<attributeName> NameThing </attributeName>
<attributeValue> abcd </attributeValue>
</attribute>
This would make the service definition XSD easier I think.

Let me know what you think.
Jerry
