Not very clear to me.

Especially, if I think about setting up virtual node resources and setting up virtual links that cross domain boundaries. So out of scope would usually be the thing (OS, network stack) that runs inside the virtual node... > Let me know your opinion, especially what's missing :) Regards, Roland
