Russ, 

Thank you very much for the suggestion of framing in terms of services. What do 
you think with the following changes to the I2NSF charter with your suggestions 
added?

In a nutshell, The Interface to vNSF (I2NSF) allows clients to communicate 
their specific security policies (request/monitor/report) to security 
functions.  I2NSF will specify a vNSF framework, requirements for programmatic 
interface to vNSF devices (configuration and dynamic programmatic)   , and 
Information and Data models for security functions' Operation, Administration, 
Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM).  The information models will include the 
following security functions:

*       Firewall 
        including various services associated with FW, such as stateful or deep 
packet inspection,  packet/flow/stream filtering and redirect (remote and 
local), etc

*       Intrusion Detection System/ Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS)
        Including intrusion detection (flow/stream pattern matching)

Interesting concept. One thought that might be helpful -- 

> *         Firewall
> *         DDOS/Anti-DOS
> *         Intrusion Detection System/ Intrusion Prevention System
> (IDS/IPS)
> *         Access control/Authorization/Authentication

I think I would try to frame things in terms of services, rather than devices, 
or a mix of the two. For instance -- what does a "firewall" really do? Stateful 
packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and... ?? So maybe a list something 
like this might make sense -- (and remember, this is brainstorming, nothing 
more) --

- Stateful packet inspection
- Deep packet inspection
- Packet/flow/stream filtering (remote and local)
- Packet/flow/stream redirect (remote and local)
- Intrusion detection (or perhaps flow/stream pattern matching?)
- AAA

Don't know if this is a useful line of thought or not.

:-)

Russ
