4. Q1: could we agree on the suggested 4 perspectives?
Proposed framework organization
from Dallas meeting
SMO proposal for organization/contents change
Perspective 1:
NGFI network
Perspective
1: NGFI
Node
Network scope
Perspective 3:
O&M / Resiliency
Perspective 4:
Security
Perspective 5:
Synchronization
Perspective
2: NGFI
network
Perspective 2:
NGFI Node
Node scope
Perspective
3: O&M
SM Optics proposal is for a «top-down» approach, which identifies first the network suitable for NGFI transport (layers, technologies, functionalities, topologies), addressing as a consequence, the requested features at node level.
Our proposal is for including in the framework, resiliency and synchronization, as well.
Perspective
4: Security

5. Q2: Could we agree on the requirement classification for perspective 1 (NGFI node)
Proposed Perspective 1 requirements
from Dallas meeting
SMO comments:
All of these points should be developed at
network level, first, resulting consequently in
requirements for NGFI node, as well.
O&M
Resiliency
Security
Synchronization
Requirements coming from Perspectives 1, 3, 4, 5 need to be considered for NGFI node, as well.

6. Q3: who can lead the requirement development for each perspective?
Proposed framework organization
SMO comments:
We are available to contribute on the following
perspectives:
Perspective 1, 3, 5 (at network level)
Perspective 2 (at node level)
