Luis thanks very much indeed for such a thorough and thoughtful review. We'll come back to you with detailed responses SOON.

These are: (1) in Terms and Concepts, for > Service, "... A service in the context of this document (sometimes called a > Network Service) is some form of connectivity between customer sites and the > Internet, or between customer sites across the network operator's network and > across the Internet"; (2) section 5, first bullet, "The services we are discussing are > services provided by network operators to customers ... network operators may > offer value-added services as well as network connection services to their > customers."; (3) section 6.4, "The IETF's work on service models is typically > smaller offering a simple, self-contained service YANG module". > Since in the abstract it is stated that "This document briefly sets out the scope of > and purpose of an IETF service model", probably the best would be to include at > the very beginning a clear sentence with such definition, in order to focus the > reader. > > - In abstract: "... details of how network protocols and devices are engineered to > deliver a service are captured in other models that are not exposed through the > Customer-Provider Interface" <-- Thinking on recursiveness, the Customer- > Provide Interface can require low-level details or models. In other words, when a > Network Operator is Customer of another Network Operator, what kind of > interface would you consider for that relationship? > > - Figure 2: in contrast with Figure 3, where would be positioned here the Service > Delivery models? Should it be assumed a collapse of functionality in the > Orchestrator of Fig. 2 including both Service and Network Orchestrator? Would > be those models internal? Maybe it could be convenient to reflect also in Fig. 2 > both Service Delivery and Network Configuration models, for consistency. > > - In section 4, below Fig. 2: "This means that the service request must be mapped > to the orchestrator's view, and this mapping may include a choice of which > networks and technologies to use depending on which service features have > been requested." < -- Such mapping is performed by the Orchestrator itself, > right? So maybe the sentence can be rephrased (e.g., ... the service request must > be mapped by the orchestrator ...). > > - Figure 3. The Customer Service model in segment (a) would be probably > something else than a connectivity/transport service, even though parts of such > service request are out of scope of IETF.

As part of the figure or in the text description, it would be nice to have > hints about how recursiveness or east/west relationships (for multiple > administrative domains) are mapped to model categories here. > > - Section 5, bullets about Commercial terms and SLAs. Maybe it can be > convenient to explicitly say that they are out of the scope. It is mentioned that is > hard to standardize this, but no assertive indication if both are out of the scope. > > - Section 6: "... interface between the Service Orchestrator or OSS/BSS ...".

More than different, MEF as described here is broader in > scope. Maybe the sentence can be rephrased in this sense. > > - Section 7.2: it is not clear if policies are considered or not as part of the scope of > the customer service models. Difficulties on identifying common policies for the > operators are mentioned. But similar situation is also mentioned in section 7.3 > with the result of identifying common parametrization after working on it.

But it seems (as mentioned before in the > document) that commercial terms and SLAs are not part of the customer service > models. Then, if reporting is included as part of the customer service model, as > suggested by this paragraph, it is apparently inconsistent with the fact of not > having the ways of requesting SLAs and billing, but having the necessary > information for that being reported (in other words, how can I express what > information is of interest for me if I cannot express SLAs or commercial terms?). > > *Editorial comments* > > - In abstract: RFC 8049 should be included between brackets. > > - In section 2, Terms and concepts: for Network Operator -> it is mentioned that > "The term is also used to refer to an individual who performs operations and > management on those networks." <-- Since it is not used with this meaning in the > text, I would remove that clarification to avoid ambiguity. > > - In section 2, Terms and concepts: for Data Model -> the following sentence > seems to be editorial, maybe it can be removed: "so it may be helpful to quote > some text to give context within this document." > > - Section 6.2 < -- Probably it would be better to separate Service Delivery from > Network Element models in different sections, with sample models referred > > - Same section.
