Hi，Carlos and WG, 

As a co-author, I support the adoption and am not aware of any IPR related to this draft.

China Telecom has carried out distributed AI traning/inference services for over two years. In this process, we deployed some technologies, including BFD, TI-LFA, and IOAM,to tackle network challenges caused by AI-related traffic, and achieved a fairly good result. However，with the growth of the service scale, we can hardly find a high cost-effective solution based on those technologies. Thanks.

Subject: Call for adoption: draft-dong-fann-problem-statement-00 (Ends 2026-08-18)

This message starts a fann WG Call for Adoption of:

draft-dong-fann-problem-statement-00

 

This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-08-18

 

Abstract:

   Many network applications, ranging from Artificial Intelligence (AI)

   /Machine Learning (ML) training/inference to cloud services, require

   networks with various combination of high bandwidth, low delay and

   low jitter and minimal packet loss in data transfer.  This requires

   that the networks must rapidly adapt to the presence of faults,

   degradation and congestion.  However, existing routing and traffic

   management mechanisms often face limitations in responsiveness,

   coverage, and operational complexity, particularly in large-scale and

   high-bandwidth network environments (e.g. data center (DC) and data

   center interconnect (DCI)).  A good and timely understanding of

   network conditions can help to enable faster response to critical

   events, so as to enable the selection of paths with reduced latency

   and improve network utilization.  This document describes the gap

   analysis and the need for fast network notification, and identifies

   the set of problems which a fast network notification solution needs

   to address.
