Additional Notes

Technical paper review

Jane - summarized comments received during last week, including Sukhdev (Juniper), Su Gu (China Mobile),  Andrew (Ericsson), Vikram (MobileEdgeX), Doug (former AT&T), Alex (HPE) and Google Doc reviewers (Pasi Vaananen and Rob Franzo)
Andrew - Fig 7 (Edge stack options) oversimplifies
Andrew - move 5G clarification up, into Motivation section -- or -- insert strict, clarifying definition into Scope & Assumptions
Andrew - “MEC” definition must be super clear, focus on Telco Edge “5GC”, specify what MEC does not include
Su Gu / Jiafeng -- agree with this -- clarify MEC as early as possible the paper
Ike - include 3GPP definition of service providers; one of 6 different roles defined by 3GPP includes “infrastructure owners”
Neal - removing MEC term entirely can lead to even more confusion, given the widespread use of the term
Tim - point out in definition that any time MEC is used in context of ETSI MEC, the paper will explicitly mention “ETSI MEC”
Andrew -- the Akraino LF Edge board disagrees with ETSI MEC on some things, if the paper advocates alignment with ETSI MEC the board may push back on that
Doug - many docs talk about MEC, only a few reference ETSI MEC
Tim - add footnotes for MEC references if needed
Jane - reviewed Sukhdev’s email comments re. “edge cloud”, may reflect Juniper CTO article, which has a proposed edge cloud definition. Jane will send attendees a link to this article
Andrew - we should not have any references to GTP
Neal - implementation details such as GTP are beyond the scope of our paper
Jane - briefly reviewed Vikram’s email comments, and Doug’s email reply
Jane - continued to review Andrew’s email comments: point 2, should business model/role be included in the paper ?
Andrew - company and product names should be removed from the paper. Referencing industry groups is ok, anything that is a “wide consortium”. Remove comment in section 5.2 about following “ETSI MEC reference architecture”
Neal - agrees, we are talking about operators at that point, that section focus on operators
Andrew - add more references to 3GPP docs in citation section, including 29.522
Neal - should we call out some of the physical realities we have encountered, can we make a strong statement about APIs that operators should be supporting
Andrew - yes we should

Action Items

Jane -will email attendees link to Juniper CTO’s article
