Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Network slicing is a feature that was introduced by the 3rd
   Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in mobile networks.
   Realization of 5G slicing implies requirements for all mobile
   domains, including the Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network (CN),
   and Transport Network (TN).

   This document describes a Network Slice realization model for IP/MPLS
   networks with a focus on the Transport Network fulfilling 5G slicing
   connectivity service objectives.  The realization model reuses many
   building blocks currently commonly used in service provider networks.

Working Group Summary

   Strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Vishnu Pavan Beeram. The
   Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard.
