The present document assumes that externally-managed internal VLs are managed by the NFVO and created towards the VIM. External and/or externally-managed internal VLs can be passed in VNF lifecycle management operation requests such as InstantiateVnf, ChangeVnfFlavor,  ChangeExtVnfConnectivity or ChangeCurrentVnfPackage and/or in the grant response.  The NFVO may choose to override in the grant response external and/or  externally-managed VL instances that have been passed previously in the  associated VNF lifecycle management request, if the lifecycle management request has originated from the NFVO itself. 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.\n",
