[King, Daniel]

Hi draft-zong-vnfpool-problem-statement authors,

Thanks for updating the I-D, I could see a number of updates related to the discussion during/post London, which is great progress.

Just have a few comments/questions/observations:

Terminology
- Where did you derive the term "Service Control Entity", is this an ETSI NFV term? Also once it's used/expanded, suggest using the acronym instead of full term (there are 18 instances).

Introduction
- It might be worth breaking the questions into bullets, rather than the current (forth) paragraph. Perhaps it has been a long day but I had to read twice to parse all the discussion points.

VNF Set
- Figure 2 and Figure 3 show "data conn", is this user data or signal/control data?

Management Considerations
- The document discusses security considerations, it might also benefit from discussion management and operational aspects as well.

References
- The I-D refers to the first version of the ETSI NFV White Paper, maybe update to reference the se

Hi, Dan,

Thanks for reading through the draft. See inline.

[Ning] I don't think it is ETSI NFV term. But I believe it is a general term with some well-known examples such as orchestrator, SFC control element, etc.

Introduction
- It might be worth breaking the questions into bullets, rather than the current (forth) paragraph. Perhaps it has been a long day but I had to read twice to parse all the discussion points.

[Ning] Good suggestion. Will do in next revision.

VNF Set
- Figure 2 and Figure 3 show "data conn", is this user data or signal/control data?

[Ning] they are user data.

Management Considerations
- The document discusses security considerations, it might also benefit from discussion management and operational aspects as well.

[Ning] Yes, we will document (VNF Pool) management considerations.

References
- The I-D refers to the first version of the ETSI NFV White Paper, maybe update to reference the second (2013) version?

[Ning] Will do
