Thanks for the draft. I have some comments as below: Comments for section 3 about service configuration problems.
some more problems from my understanding 1. service chain requirement could be submitted by the user to the controller 2. service elasticity requirements should be specified by the user 3. in addition to software versions, the user also want to specify the operating system versions. There are also resource requirements for the remote software installation, which are complement to the software components selection. There is lack of a standard for a user to tell the controller how much bandwidth, storage, CPU, memory are allocated to a specific software in the provider's network (perhaps there is existing standard for the virtual machine or host level resources), [cz] but the Openstack-Neutron have such APIs to specify the user's request , better to notice the difference here. ==quote 4. Scope for Standardization (1) A protocol between the user and controller for software installation components choices, dynamic service configuration through the controller, and the resource requirements for the installation. (2) A protocol between software vendor and the controller for the detailed description of the software components and the recommended resource requirements for service instance. [cz] Envision a picture here. and what's the operator's role in the picture, i believe the operator-controller interface should also be specified , maybe add a (3).
