I think I agree with Frank. The confusion is caused by the 'I2NSF system’. Maybe we should change the definition in the terminology draft to Capability Layer: Defines an abstraction layer that exposes a set of capabilities of the NSF?

We just need to make some modification in two places to keep consistence. We can do it during the update of I2NSF terminology draft. B.R. Frank 发件人: I2nsf [mailto:[email protected]] 代表 Linda Dunbar 发送时间: 2016年6月15日 23:40 收件人: John Strassner; Susan Hares; DIEGO LOPEZ GARCIA ([email protected]) 抄送: [email protected] 主题: [I2nsf] questions about some terminologies defined by draft-ietf-i2nsf-terminology-00 Dear Authors: The term “Capability Layer” defined by the “draft-ietf-i2nsf-terminology-00” carries different meaning than the “Capability Layer” used by the I2NSF charter. “draft-ietf-i2nsf-terminology-00”: Capability: Defines a set of features that are available from a managed entity (see also I2NSF Capability). Capability Layer: Defines an abstraction layer that exposes a set of capabilities of the I2NSF system. I2NSF Charter: I2NSF will specify interfaces at two functional levels for the control and monitoring of network security functions: The I2NSF Capability Layer specifies how to control and monitor NSFs at a functional implementation level. The term "Functional Implementation" is used to emphasize that the rules (for control and monitor) of NSFs have to be implementable by most NSFs. I2NSF will standardize a set of interfaces by which a security controller can invoke, operate, and monitor NSFs. The I2NSF Service Layer defines how clients' security policies may be expressed to a security controller. The controller implements its policies according to the various capabilities provided by the I2NSF Capability Layer. The I2NSF Service Layer also allows the client to monitor the client specific policies. If we use the definitions by the “draft-ietf-i2nsf-terminology-00”, we should create a different terminology to represent the “South bound Interface” between Controller and NSF.
