  GrantRequest:
    description: >
      This type represents a grant request. It shall comply with the provisions defined in table 9.5.2.2-1.

      NOTE 1:	The VNF LCM operations CreateVnfIdentifier, DeleteVnfIdentifier, QueryVnf and ModifyVnfInformation 
              can be executed by the VNFM without requesting granting.
      NOTE 2:	If the granting request is for InstantiateVNF, either instantiationLevel or addResources shall be present.
      NOTE 3:	The NFVO will assume that the VNFM will be responsible to both allocate and release the temporary resource 
              during the runtime of the LCM operation. This means, the resource can be allocated and consumed after the 
              "start" notification for the LCM operation is sent by the VNFM, and the resource will be released before the 
              "result" notification of the VNF LCM operation is sent by the VNFM.
      NOTE 4:	For the affinity/anti-affinity rules defined in the VNFD and the placement constraints in the GrantVnfLifecycleOperation 
              as defined in this clause, the following applies: Assuming unlimited capacity, the combination of all the
              aforementioned rules shall be satisfiable by at least one possible placement of the new resources, with the
              exception that some of the rules with fallbackBestEffort may be unsatisfiable due to the actual placement of
              existing resources. In this case, rules with fallbackBestEffort are allowed to be violated only in relation
              to the placement of existing resources.
      NOTE 5:	Passing constraints allows the VNFM or the lifecycle management scripts to influence resource placement decisions 
              by the NFVO to ensure VNF properties such as performance or fault tolerance.
      NOTE 6:	If fallbackBestEffort is present and set to "true" in one or more placement constraints and, the NFVO
              cannot find a resource placement that satisfies all of these due to limited capacity, the NFVO shall process
              each such affinity/anti-affinity constraint in a best effort manner, in which case, if specified resources
              cannot be allocated based on the specified placement constraint, the NFVO shall look for an alternate best
              effort placement for the specified resources to be granted. In the best effort anti-affinity case, the
              resources are expected to be spread optimally over all available instances of scope (e.g. zones), and in
              the best effort affinity case, they are expected to be distributed optimally over as few instances of scope as
              possible. Being able to satisfy a "best-effort" constraint in a best effort manner only, as defined above,
              shall not lead to rejecting the grant.

  Grant:
    description: >
      This type represents a grant.

      NOTE 1: This interface allows to signal the use of multiple VIMs per VNF. The specification
              for managing the VNF internal VL requirements across multiple VIMs is supported via
              "externally-managed internal VLs" and "multi-site connectivity services".
      NOTE 2: Void.
      NOTE 3: The Grant response allows the NFVO to pass to the VNFM VIM assets related to the VNF 
              package that is identified in the corresponding Grant request. Because only the operations
              InstantiateVnf, ChangeCurrentVnfPkg and the update of the vnfdId by PATCH can imply changes
              in the set of VIM assets, the NFVO shall not change this set in any other case. To signal the
              set of VIM assets, the following applies:
              a)	If the current LCM operation is InstantiateVnf, the NFVO shall send in the Grant response
              the full set of VIM assets related to the VNF package defined by the vnfdId in the related
              Grant request.
              b)	If the current LCM operation is ChangeCurrentVnfPkg, the NFVO shall send in the
              Grant response the full set of VIM assets related to the VNF package defined by the destVnfdId
              in the related Grant request.
              c)	For any other operation: If the set of VIM assets has changed since the end of the previous
              granted operation because a PATCH operation has changed the vnfdId between the previous granted
              operation and the operation to which the current granting exchange relates, the NFVO shall send
              in the Grant response the full set of VIM assets related to the VNF package defined by the vnfdId
              in the related Grant request. Otherwise, the NFVO shall either send in the Grant response the full
              set of VIM assets related to the VNF package defined by the vnfdId in the related Grant request, or
              shall not send any VIM assets at all.
              During each LCM operation occurrence other than a "ChangeCurrentVnfPkg" operation,
              the VIM assets that relate to the VNF package identified by the current value of
              the vnfdId attribute in the "VnfInstance" structure shall be used by the
              VNFM for newly created resources and updated resources.
      NOTE 4: The indication of externally-managed internal VLs is needed in case networks have been
              pre-configured for use with certain VNFs, for instance to ensure that these networks have
              certain properties such as security or acceleration features, or to address particular network
              topologies (e.g., multi-site connectivity). The present document assumes that externally-managed
              internal VLs are managed by the NFVO and created towards the VIM and WIM.
      NOTE 5: For any VNF lifecycle management operation request that allows to pass "extVirtualLinks" and/or
              "extManagedVirtualLinks" parameters, such as InstantiateVnf, ChangeVnfFlavour, ChangeExtVnfConnectivity or
              ChangeCurrentVnfPackage, the NFVO may provide the "extVirtualLinks" and/or "extManagedVirtualLinks" attributes
              in the Grant to override the values passed in these parameters previously in the associated VNF lifecycle
              management request, if the lifecycle management request has originated from the NFVO itself. The NFVO shall
              not provide the "extVirtualLinks" and/or "extManagedVirtualLinks" attributes in the Grant in case the LCM
              request did not originate from the NFVO itself or the granted LCM operation request does not allow to pass
              these parameters.
      NOTE 6: The NFVO shall set the value of the attribute by copying the value from the associated 
              GrantRequest.
      NOTE 7: In case of granting an InstantiateVnf request that has originated from the NFVO and that 
              did not contain the "extVirtualLinks" attribute, this attribute shall be set by the NFVO. 
              Further in case of granting an InstantiateVnf request that has originated from the NFVO 
              and that did not contain the "extManagedVirtualLinks" attribute, this attribute shall be 
              set by the NFVO if there is the need to provide information about externally-managed virtual 
              links.
      NOTE 8: The resulting "extVirtualLinks" or "extManagedVirtualLinks" information is calculated as follows: 
              In a first step, the information passed in the related LCM operation is applied to the baseline
              information known from earlier LCM operation executions. In a second step, the information passed
              in the Grant is applied to the information resulting from the first step.
