Our Definition: A Network Slice is a set of interconnected network resources (virtual or physical) that constitute a network instance specific to a particular service

Resource: BP Entity instance that can

represent a Network or a Function

construct (EndPoint, Connection,

VirtualMachine, E2E Service)

Service: Multiple Resources can come

in play and get Orchestrated to create a

higher-order Resource. This high-order

Resource is a Service

Product: For Resources to be

Orchestrated into a Service, definition

“Product” needs to be on-boarder. It

defines how those different Resources

interact and contribute to the creation of

the Service

Resource Assignment

Service Visibility

Resource SlicingDevice

All Physical and Logical resources that can be

attributed or contained to a specific Device/Node

VirtualSet of Resource of the same type representing a

virtual asset (i.e. a VM image)

Infrastructure

For auto-discovered Services, all resources

required to grant access to this service are auto-

grouped. This enables a quick Service allocation to

a Tenant

Custom

Slice

A custom slice created with any number and type of

resources. Can be granted to a Tenant to allow

monitoring or can be used for new Service

orchestration

Port

(Dedicated)

Rules

Any Resource can be assigned to one or more Slices

Each Resource has a sharing policy: Dedicated or Shared

A single Resource Slice can be further sliced and shared with a child Tenant

Once a Slice, containing a “dedicated” Resource, is assigned to a Tenant, this Slice or any other containing

the same Resource cannot be assigned to a peer Tenant
