The IESG has received a request from the Network Management Operations WG
(nmop) to consider the following document: - 'SIMAP: Concept, Requirements,
and Use Cases'
  <draft-ietf-nmop-simap-concept-13.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 2026-09-26. 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


   This document defines the concept of Service & Infrastructure Maps
   (SIMAP) and identifies a set of SIMAP requirements and use cases.
   The SIMAP was previously known as Digital Map. SIMAP evolves the
   earlier 'Digital Map' concept by making explicit the ties between
   service and infrastructure layers, clarifying expected outcomes for
   operations and automation, and addressing ambiguity associated with
   the term 'digital.'

   The document intends to be used as a reference for the assessment of
   the various topology modules to meet SIMAP requirements.
