Linda,

I read the draft.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-i2nsf-client-facing-interface-req/

We will provide some comments from the point of view of our network security 
automation use case.
# Our team especially studies about security operation automation between 
controller and NSF, not between user and controller. So we want to provide only 
general comments.

- About Basic rules for Client-Facing Interface definition
Vendor-independence is very important thing for carrier NW's operation.
We think independence of NSF's version is important too.
We think it's problem that client-facing interface depends on NSF's version.

If client-facing interface depends on NSF's version, it means I2NSF RESTful API 
depends on NSF's version.
So it means automation program which uses the API has to be changed at every 
version up.

- About attack traffic transport
We consider that network security operators want to analyze attack traffic by 
using appropriate NSFs, so network should transport attack traffic to the NSFs 
easily.
We think it's important thing that client-facing interface enables network 
security operator to do so easily.
