Body 
We note that 3GPP SA5 is working on Management and orchestration of 5G networks
and network slicing (http://www.3gpp.org/NEWS-EVENTS/3GPP-NEWS/1951-SA5_5G) and
is considering various existing data models as references.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the status of several
pieces of work in the IETF that provide support for network slicing for IP
services , L2 services, TE services, and transport networks.

RFC 8299 provides A YANG Data Model for L3VPN Service Delivery.
This document is a published RFC with IETF consensus.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8299.txt

draft-ietf-l2sm-l2vpn-service-model provides A YANG Data Model for L2VPN
Service Delivery. This document has achieved working group and IETF consensus,
and is currently completing approval for publication as an RFC.
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-l2sm-l2vpn-service-model-10.txt

Two further informational documents developed by the IETF community may help
explain this work:

- RFC 8309 sets the previous two documents in context by explaining what the
IETF
   means by the term "Service Model"
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8309.txt

- RFC 8199 provides a YANG module classification that will also assist you in
seeing
   how the IETF's YANG modules fit together.
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8199.txt

You may also be interested in work in the TEAS working group on Abstraction and
Control of Traffic Engineered networks (ACTN). In particular, there is YANG
model for Virtual Network operation in an ACTN context that may be of specific
interest to you: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-teas-actn-vn-yang-00.txt

Wishing you all success in your work,
Qin Wu and Adrian Farrel
