MSF R2 Service Architecture

MSF Technical Report MSF-TR-ARCH-002-FINAL MSF R2 Service Architecture

Through 2002 and early 2003, significant work has been done by the Architecture

Working Group to add the details of the application plane to the MSF Functional

architecture. The original intent was to release these updates as the Release 2 functional

architecture. In Orlando, a contribution was accepted to restructure the architecture in

order to make it easier to understand and an activity was begun to this extent. However,

the Architecture Working group determined that it was important the MSF publish a

white paper for industry use to capture the service architecture work rather than waiting

for the complete restructuring. It is the intention of this contribution to provide text that

captures the intent of the MSF Service Architecture work for publication as a white

paper.
