I2NSF Registration Interface YANG Data Model for NSF Capability Registration
draft-ietf-i2nsf-registration-interface-dm-20

State changed to Appendix B.  NSF Lifecycle Management in NFV Environments

   Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) can be used to implement I2NSF
   framework.  In NFV environments, NSFs are deployed as virtual network
   functions (VNFs).  Security Controller can be implemented as an
   Element Management (EM) of the NFV architecture, and is connected
   with the VNF Manager (VNFM) via the Ve-Vnfm interface
   [nfv-framework].  Security Controller can use this interface for the
   purpose of the lifecycle management of NSFs.  If some NSFs need to be
   instantiated to enforce security policies in the I2NSF framework,
   Security Controller could request the VNFM to instantiate them
   through the Ve-Vnfm interface.  Or if an NSF, running as a VNF, is
   not used by any traffic flows for a time period, Security Controller
   MAY request deinstantiating it through the interface for efficient
   resource utilization.

Appendix E.  Changes from draft-ietf-i2nsf-registration-interface-dm-19

   The following changes are made from draft-ietf-i2nsf-registration-
   interface-dm-19:

   *  The updates are made following Qin Wu's comments.  The important
      updates are as follows:

      1.  This version updated the title of the document to clarify that
          the main focus is the registration of an NSF's capability.

      2.  This version updated the naming of "performance capabilities"
          into "nsf specification".

      3.  This version added "management protocol" information to the
          "nsf-access-info".

      4.  A reference to [RFC3444] is added for the definitions of Data
          Model and Information Model in Section 2.

      5.  This version clarified that the YANG module in this document
          augments the YANG module from
          [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model] in Section 5.2.
