The IESG has received a request from the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking
WG (dtn) to consider the following document: - 'DTN Management Architecture'
  <draft-ietf-dtn-dtnma-08.txt> as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-12-25. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture describes a type of
   challenged network in which communications may be significantly
   affected by long signal propagation delays, frequent link
   disruptions, or both.  The unique characteristics of this environment
   require a unique approach to network management that supports
   asynchronous transport, autonomous local control, and a small
   footprint (in both resources and dependencies) so as to deploy on
   constrained devices.

   This document describes a DTN management architecture (DTNMA)
   suitable for managing devices in any challenged environment but, in
   particular, those communicating using the DTN Bundle Protocol (BP).
   Operating over BP requires an architecture that neither presumes
   synchronized transport behavior nor relies on query-response
   mechanisms.  Implementations compliant with this DTNMA should expect
   to successfully operate in extremely challenging conditions, such as
   over uni-directional links and other places where BP is the preferred
   transport.
