Re: [end points comm] OPES System

Abbie,

sure, so here's my understanding so far:

  An "OPES system" describes the collection of all OPES entities (i.e.
  OPES processors and callout servers) that are operated by a single
  provider (or, alternatively: ...within a single trust domain).

If this describes what an "OPES system" was meant to be, I somehow don't like the term too much. Maybe the term "OPES domain" would be appropriate?

That is the main problem. We need a formal definition, since we refere to it
a lot in the draft.

To start off the discussion, can we state that an OPES

system is the
collection of entities that perform OPES transformations on a request/responce within an OPES flow?

Isn't there somewhere an assumption in the drafts that an "OPES System" describes OPES entities that are operated (or belong) to a single operatore/trustdomain/carrier?

Thanks,
