Abstract:
Autonomic network infrastructure (ANI) is a generic platform for
tenant applications (i.e. AFs). As we will see in some examplery
use cases, AFs may not only require communication capability
supported from the infrastructure side, but also the capability the
infrastructure can hold and re-distribute information on-demand.
This document proposes a set of solutions for information
distribution in the ANI. Information distribution is categorized
into two different modes: 1) instantaneous distribution and 2)
publishing for retrieval. In the former case, the information is
sent, propagated and disposed of after reception. In the latter
case, information needs to be stored in the network; additionally,
conflict resolution is also needed when information stored in the
network is updated with proposals from two different AFs.
The capability of information distribution is a fundamental need for
an autonomous network ([RFC7575]). This document describes typical
use cases of information distribution in ANI and requirements to ANI,
such that abundant ways of information distribution can be natively
supported. This draft proposes a series of extensions to the
autonomic nodes and suggests an implementation based on GRASP
([RFC8990]) extensions as a protocol on the wire.
