It is a scheduling service of a network which includes multiple edge
points and switching function, (that is, provide a virtual network).
May be such services can be first classified into reservation (or
scheduling) service class, and the connection service is a sub-class of
the reservation service class. And the temporal aspects is a matter of
the reservation service class.

Could you describe the point-to-multipoint use-case a bit specifically where it relates to temporal aspect? Is it joins and removes?

Hi Inder,
But in the future, we may have services like point-to-multipoint (i.e.
virtual network) service, which will have temporal aspects too.
So, I believe "temporal aspects" is generic to (not all but) multiple
services, and putting it to the generic architecture part is better for
future extension of NSI.

Dear Tomohiro,
We decided to take out the temporal aspects from the generic architecture and move it into the Connection Service discussion. The reason being that the NSI protocol message exchanges did not require a time synchronization. They mostly depend on state machines and relative timing.

Hi all,
I could not hear the later part of the previous session clearly, so
maybe I miss the point, but:
- if request path is hierarchical, service instances also have
hierarchical relationship. That is, a service instance is created for
each provider along the path.
- temporal aspects may exist not only for the connection service but
also for other (to be defined) services.
