Bo, I read through your draft as well as solicited some feedback from
colleagues.  I have a few questions as to scope and overall intent of
your service model.

First, you mention that the service model is intended for a management
system.  I'm confused as to what that means in the SD-WAN space.  It is
my understanding that a controller or orchestrator is a main focus in an
SD-WAN architecture.  So I was trying to rationalize your model as
something one might instantiate on a controller.  Then the controller
would handle configuring (or programming) the CEs.  Can you provide more
clarity here?

The draft assumes that "MOST" of the capabilities will be enabled by
configuration on the CE devices using this SM. This may not be true.

In Cisco's implementation of SD-WAN, one of the objectives is simplicity
where we want to push minimal amount of config to the CE. These things
include interface IPs, organization name, dynamic routing config, etc.
But most of the functions tied to SD-WAN are applied as policies on the
controllers and are sent to devices as a policy update rather than
configuration on the CE devices.

Some gaps in this model that would be needed for other SD-WAN
implementations are:

* Security: The keys are automatically generated and propagated through
the centralized controller using different protocols. Hence not much
configuration is required on the CE.  I don't see how that would fit
exactly into your model

* Policy templates: Some of the basic things are done utilizing the
configuration on the device. Most of the classification/application
group/profile(SLA)/ Path selection/etc are again done at the controller
level and being sent to devices as policy/control update and not as
configuration.

It comes back to where the model is instantiated.

Overall, I think this may be difficult to be broadly adopted as being
able to describe all SD-WAN implementations as it is now.
