This document defines the network slice (NS) subnet as a general management plane concept that augments a baseline network slice model with management attributes and operations enabling interconnections (or stitching) between network slices. The description of NS subnet interconnections is technology agnostic following the approach of the COMS information model. Some interconnections may be implemented using the interplay between management plane and gateways in the data plane.
