[Nsi-wg] Strict enforcement of service specific elements

[John MacAuley]

Remember that the Service Definition is a separate document that describes the service and the service specific elements that are included in the reservation request.  The serviceType element is the unique name for the Service Definition document and not the service specific element.

It is my current view that this list needs to be strictly enforced, and any elements found not part of the service definition results in an invalid request.  If we do not perform strict checking then we will need to define the behaviour when an element is discovered that is not part of the service definition.

What is important as well is the semantic of the request, i.e., a monitored evts connection is not the same as a non-monitored connection, though they have the same syntax. IMHO such should have different service definitions (should become more clear with the serviceType vs. serviceDefinition discusison, which I haven't replied to yet).
