The telecommunications landscape is undergoing major changes with the introduction of SDN and NFV, which allow new ways of designing networks and deploying network functions. Accurately describing the services to be provided is crucial for integrating and ensuring interoperability between different NFV proposals. However, fully realizing the benefits of NFV presents unique challenges that the current service description proposals do not fully address. This paper reviews current NFV service description proposals, identifies key challenges, and proposes a straw man model for service and resource description that could guide future initiatives in addressing these challenges.
