Hi OPSAWG and NMRG,
Let me announce a Side Meeting on I2INF (Interface to In-Network Functions).

------------------------------------------
o IETF-121 I2INF Side Meeting
- When: 3:00pm-4:30pm on November 5, 2024 (Wednesday)
- Where: WMR 4 (Level: Second Floor)
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/121/floor-plan?room=wicklow-mr-4
- Agenda:

https://github.com/jaehoonpauljeong/I2INF/blob/main/Side-Meeting/IETF-121/IETF121-I2INF-Side-Meeting-Agenda.txt
- Meeting Materials:

o Goal of In-Network Functions (I2INF)
- I2INF identifies the gaps for In-Network Functions (INF) in Computing in
the Network
  (COIN) and comes up with a framework to manage such INFs in an autonomous
way.
  An INF is a Programmable Network Device (PND) in an In-Network Computing
(INC)
  environment that can have multiple kinds of capabilities to provision a
user's service,
  consisting of Network Functions (NFs) and Application Functions (AFs).
- This group tries to specify a problem statement for the Interface to
In-Network
  Functions (I2INF) for user services both on the network-level and
application-level.
  In-Network Functions (INF) include In-Network Computing Functions (INCF)
which
  are defined in the context of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and
  Software-Defined Networking (SDN). INF also includes In-Network
Application
  Functions (INAF) which appear in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT)
Devices,
  Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
  Intent-Based Networking (IBN) can be used to compose user services and
consist
  of a combination of INFs in a target network. This group investigates the
need for
  a standard framework with the interfaces for INFs, in terms of
applications with the
  need to run Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the network and
interoperability among
  multi-vendor INFs.
- The I2INF group aims at specifying a problem statement, use cases, and a
framework with
  common interfaces for the management of INFs.
- This group aims at standardizing an I2INF framework and the YANG data
models for
   the capabilities of INFs and the I2INF interfaces. An intent or a policy
for the INFs can
   be constructed by an XML file based on those YANG data models. The
delivery of
   such an intent or a policy can be performed by either NETCONF or
RESTCONF.
- This group will specify the following items:
(1) Interface to In-Network Functions (I2INF): Problem Statement and Use
Cases,
(2) A Framework for Interface to In-Network Functions (I2INF), and
(3) YANG Data Models for the I2INF Capability and Interfaces.
