Comment from Med:
[Med] Another example we can add is the VRF or the more general concept of "VPN Node" defined in:
draft-ietf-opsawg-l3sm-l3nm-07:
VPN node: An abstraction that represents a set of policies applied on a PE and that belong to a single VPN service. A VPN service involves one or more VPN nodes. As it is an abstraction, the network controller will take on how to implement a VPN node. For example, typically, in a BGP-based VPN, a VPN node could be mapped into a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF).
From Jake's review, related to the "Node" definition in Section 2:
Yes, a DSCP-selected queue in a switch can be a Node.
To illustrate that a Node is not necessarily a physical or virtual machine, but can be defined in a more microscopic context, we have already included a service function as an example. To make it clearer, we can also add "a single queue" as another example for a (virtual) Node.
