Dear all netslices,

The stable version of COMS BoF proposal, as below, has been uploaded onto the IETF BoF WiKi page. Two associated documents are linked. No further modification would be made unless the responsible ADs explicitly ask or made by themselves directly.

A demonstration is also in preparation for the coming IETF100 meeting, Singapore. An implementation of the common netslice template and mapping it into two existing technologies would be showed.

Many thanks and best regards,

Common Operation and Management on network Slicing (COMS)

Description:

The dynamic provisioning of customized networking facilities (forwarding and routing, QoS, security, compute, storage capabilities among others) over physical infrastructures can rely upon the so-called network slicing technique. Network slicing is a technique to construct and manage a network slice, which is a collection of network resources and network functions. Customers of such networking facilities would like their service provider to construct network slices accordingly, regardless of the underlay technologies, while network operators have multiple candidate technologies for supporting the network slicing. Between the technology-agnostic service requirements and specific implementation technology, a common information model is missed. This information model could be mapped to any available implementation technology, and supports the operation and management on network slices.
