Abstract:
  The Network Services Framework describes a framework to support the
request and management of Network Services that use the Network
Service Interface (NSI) protocol.  The NSI is a web-service based
Application Programming Interface (API) that operates between a
requester software agent and a provider software agent.  The full
suite of NSI services allows an application or network provider to
request and manage network service instances.  These services include
the Connection Service and the Document Distribution Service.
