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