|---|---|---|
| Instantiation of new (shareable) NSI | Instantiate the NSI (and constituent NSSI) so that it can cater to some additional dimensions, e.g., allow for 20% buffer (the 20% may come from Policy or be pre-configured). | Instantiate it only with the required dimensions as required by the Service Profile |
| Impacts | SO (NSMF and NSSMF), SDN-R/C ??? | |
