Abstract:
This document describes the Connection Service v2.0, which is one of a suite of services that make up the Network Service Interface (NSI).
The NSI is a web-service based API that operates between a requester software agent and a provider software agent. The full suite of NSI services allows an application or network provider to request and manage circuit service instances. Apart from the Connection Service these include the Topology Service and the Discovery Service. The complete set of NSI services is described in the Network Services Framework v2.0.
This Connection Service document describes the protocol, state machine, architecture and associated processes and environment in which software agents interact to deliver a Connection. A Connection is a point-to-point network circuit that can transit multiple networks belonging to different providers.
