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?

[Bo] The model is to define a customer service model which is used for the 
northbound interface of SD-WAN service orchestrator, and a SD-WAN controller is 
instructed by the orchestrator to initiate the specific setting or controlling.
I will add more text to explain this.
Thanks.

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.

[Bo] This model is not intended for CE configuration. 
I understand your concerns, as I also saw some SD-WAN drafts, 
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-rosen-bess-secure-l3vpn-01.txt
 and https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-sajassi-bess-secure-evpn-00.txt are 
working to simplify the configuration of CEs, such as security parameters.
The security and policy related model definition are all input template for 
controller. 
Again, the idea is to define an abstract service model to describe common 
SD-WAN service functionality, such as virtual network separation and multiple 
WAN access choices within a customer network.
Thanks, Bo
