- A BRG, which will be a physical device (PNF) dedicated to the customer's service instance.
- A vG, which is a virtual network function that is dedicated to the customer's service instance.
- A "slice" of functionality of the vGMUX, which provides a "cross connect" function between the BRG and vG. We use the term "slideslice" informally to convey the sense that something (capacity) is consumed and dedicated (configuration record) in the vGMUX for this customer's service instance. The way in which SDC models a "slice" of functionality of a VNF is through the "Allotted Resource" construct, because what is being consumed by the customer's service instance is an "allotment" of capacity and configuration from the underlying vGMUX. We will refer to this as the TunnelXConn Allotted Resource.
