John,
There are two types of interface described in I2NSF framework:
-one is NSF facing interface, over which rules or policies can be
expressed based on ports/IP addresses for packets traversing through a NSF;
-another is the interface for Clients, users, tenants, to express/
John,
Maybe we should call it "customer-facing-interface" instead of
"consumer-facing-interface"?

Subject: [I2nsf] Definition for "Consumer"

The I2NSF framework currently uses “client-facing –interface”.
Either “Tenant-facing-interface” or “User-facing-interface” would be equivalent.

See my comments on the fixes below. I'm going to resolve other comments,
and then send out version 2. Please review version 2 went it uploads to see
if I understood all your comments.

Hi Linda,
I'm happy to change the definition of Consumer if you like - I wrote it to be
as generic as possible. However, since you are asking, please compare the
definitions from three sources for consumer vs. client, and then tell me if you
really want to change consumer to client.
I for one
Well, no it wouldn’t.
Please see my earlier email with respect to client-facing interface. I don’t
like “client”, it has the wrong connotations for modern software.
A consumer is an entity that is using something (data, services, etc.) that is
given to it. Which is exactly what this interface is
