Re: [Int-dir] [Anima] An IOT DIR review of draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Brian: as part of the fixes for Pascals review, i added a section 1.1,
applicability & scope that mentions the "professionally managed"
and also has one small paragraph at the end re. constrained devices/
networks. I hope this provides qukc/useful scoping of what the ACP
does.

Cheers

It would be useful to scope the feature that is proposed in this document, whether it is compatible of not with constrained environments, whether it needs adaptations, point on Michael's enrollment draft. It would also be useful to indicate whether the ACP works between L3 bridges, IOW whether ACP operates the same (over IP) regardless of the packet forwarding layer in the data plane;

ANIMA is chartered for "professionally managed" networks, and the reference model says: "At a later stage ANIMA may define a scope for constrained nodes with a reduced ANI [autonomic infrastructure] and well-defined minimal functionality.  They are currently out of scope." So while your point is very valid, it's been considered out of scope so far.
