 Section 2.1 goes to some length to describe that there are various types of 
Network Service YANG Data Models at various levels of abstractions. This means 
that both generic models (e.g. a technology agnostic L3 VPN model) and more 
implementation-oriented models (e.g. VPLS) would be classified as Network 
Service YANG Data Models without being at the exact same level of abstraction.

 If you are talking about VxLAN, GRE, VPLS configuration and operational 
parameters residing on a device, then it’s Network Element YANG Data models. If 
you’re talking about VxLAN, GRE, VPLS configuration and operational parameters 
as part of an "abstract model that allows instances o the service to be 
decomposed into instance data according to the Network Element data models of 
the participating network elements”, then it would be classified as a Network 
Service YANG Data Models.

 I have done some reading on M.3010 and believe we are well aligned in the 
draft. The network model would be classified ad as Network Service YANG Data 
Model.
