These connections are called IETF network slices for the purposes of this memo. The memo discusses the general framework for this setup, the necessary system components and interfaces, and how abstract requests can be mapped to more specific technologies. The memo also discusses related considerations with monitoring and security. This memo is intended for discussing interfaces and technologies. It is not intended to be a new set of concrete interfaces or technologies. Rather, it should be seen as an explanation of how some existing, concrete IETF VPN and traffic-engineering technologies can be used to create IETF network slices. Note that there are a number of these technologies, and new technologies or capabilities keep being added. This memo is also not intended presume any particular technology choice. \textless{}DAb\textgreater{} This document provides a definition of the term "IETF Network Slice" for use within the IETF and specifically as a reference for other IETF documents that describe or use aspects of network slices. The document also describes the characteristics of an IETF network slice, related terms and their meanings, and explains how IETF network slices can be used in combination with end-to-end network slices or independent of them.}, }
