This is a reminder that the NSI connection service protocol message primitive/attributes and associated state diagram are now stable and close to being fixed for v1.0.  This is described in the attached documents:

1. NSI WSDL (includes Connection type, Connection service and Connection interface)

2. A sample service definition (in both .pdf and .xsd formats)

3. Service state-machines

Note: these are not new version of these documents – all have been distributed separately in previous mailings, but are combined here for review purposes.

As the v1.0 connection service is now being written up, this is your chance to provide feedback to the working group. . .  so please take time to review these documents and send your comments to the list.  A draft Connection Service Protocol document should become available for comment in the next few weeks.

Regards,

Guy
