Title: An Autonomic Control Plane (ACP) Author: T. Eckert, Ed., M. Behringer, Ed., S. Bjarnason Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: May 2021 Mailbox: tte+i...@cs.fau.de, michael.h.behrin...@gmail.com, sbjarna...@arbor.net Pages: 128 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-30.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8994 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8994 Autonomic functions need a control plane to communicate, which depends on some addressing and routing. This Autonomic Control Plane should ideally be self-managing and be as independent as possible of configuration. This document defines such a plane and calls it the "Autonomic Control Plane", with the primary use as a control plane for autonomic functions. It also serves as a "virtual out-of-band channel" for Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM) communications over a network that provides automatically configured, hop-by-hop authenticated and encrypted communications via automatically configured IPv6 even when the network is not configured or is misconfigured. This document is a product of the Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
