---------------------------------

hi Chris lauwers
First, I agree that "the concepts of "nodes" and "relationships" can be used to model any graph, whether it's a NFV service graph or a network topology graph. "

but if you see my proposal in the document" https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/tosca/document.php?document_id=54169). ",   VNF does not only contain software companent, it can be map to a tier node templates including software application and compute node, and the virtual link is not the same with the network node type either, it defines the connections between several VNFs.

> NFV (network function virtualization) will study the gap between NS description in NFV and tosca template. 
> VNFFG(VNF forwarding graph) is one of the gap that may need TOSCA to add some more features to fit the requirements.
