[Ibnemo] 答复: [Supa] 答复: SUPA call: 7:30-8:30am, Monday, July 13, San Francisco time

Hi John,

Ibnemo’s target is to simplify network interface. I think this is also the interesting of industry for Intent NBI.
Intent NBI is based on some level of network abstraction. An appropriate abstraction provides a simple and intuitive network interface and hides implementation detail at same time.
The network object model and network operation model in Ibnemo represent our attempt. They certainly need polish. That is why we need Ibnemo.

I know you love policy so much. I can understand you want policy theory to be more perfect and can cover more range, just as your effort in GPIM https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-strassner-supa-generic-policy-info-model-02.
I think GPIM is a real generic model. Actually, it is not limited in network area.  I didn’t find any specific network abstraction in it.
I wish GPIM would have tremendous progress than RFC3460. But I think we still need concrete network abstraction for Intent NBI.

What, exactly, are you not agreeing with in the following sentence:
"NEMO uses a flatter, simpler object model with fewer objects to represent targets of policy. NEMO does not define a policy model, and does not support ECA policies. NEMO uses a condition-action paradigm to execute its policy commands.”

Lets take the sentence point by point.

#1 FLATTER, SIMPLER OBJECT MODEL
NEMO defines three objects: node, link, and flow. How many managed objects do G.805 or G.809, let alone the average MIB, define? It is irrelevant that you can define subclasses of node - the user has to do all the work, and this guarantees non-interoperable solutions.

#2 TARGETS OF POLICY.
You just said that you define an object model and an operation model. Both would be policy targets, by any standard CA or ECA definition.

#3. NEMO DOES NOT DEFINE A POLICY MODEL
You said: "NEMO doesn’t NEED to define a new policy model, because industry already has well defined policy model(such as RFC 3460). We will not rebuild a wheel." Not only did you agree that you aren't defining a policy model, but you appear to be unaware of why RFC3460 is badly broken. So yes, you do need to rebuild this.

#4. DOES NOT SUPPORT ECA POLICIES. NEMO USES A CONDITION-ACTION PARADIGM TO EXECUTE ITS POLICY COMMANDS.
It is inconceivable to me how you could disagree with this. From draft-xia-sdnrg-nemo-language-02, Section 5.1: "All the policies follow the same pattern "when <condition>, to execute <action>, with <constraint>", and can be applied to any entity." This is NOT an ECA policy; any useful implementation of CA or ECA allows constraints - EXCEPT RFC3460.

Hi Tina and all,

I do not agree with your word about NEMO/ibnemo in page 8.

Your sentence: “NEMO uses a flatter, simpler object model with fewer objects to represent targets of policy. NEMO does not define a policy model, and does not support ECA policies. NEMO uses a condition-action paradigm to execute its policy commands.”
The truth is that NEMO define an object model and an operation model to represent network abstraction for intent NBI, because NEMO’s target is a simplified network interface(Intent NBI) for application even for ender-user.  policy is only a type of operation in Intent NBI. NEMO doesn’t NEED to define a new policy model, because industry already has well defined policy model(such as RFC 3460). We will not rebuild a wheel.

Your sentence: “IBNemo – 'intent' means I express a desired topology and its properties.”
The truth  is that Ibnemo –‘Intent’ means user simply and intuitively  express demands of network resource and/or network behavior. Topology and its properties are typical type of network resource, so they are part of network intent, but not all.

Yinben

Dear Scott and Sue,

Regarding “2.2. Relationship to other WGs (Scott/Sue et al, 5 minutes)” (Times are the ones in the call next week – not the BOF), attached is a quick update based on Jun’s presentation in last BoF, according to the discussion after Dallas.

Feel free to use or update the slides.

Thank you,
Tina
