-> yes, it is "routing (control) domain", we will clarify in the
   next version

-> it is expected to cover multi-vendor case (note that the other
   alternative is single vendor only) so that this "communication
   interface" is expected to be defined but it is not within the
   scope of this document, what's within the scope is the routing
   information exchanged (ie ways to achieve the communication
   interface between these systems is not)

thanks,
