Re: [nmrg] NMRG current and futur topics - Please provide feedback

["陈丹阳[e-mail]" <[e-mail]>]

Dear chairs and NMRG  participants,




In response to some of topics raised below, we have discussed the future promotion of IBN use cases, and the following is a merging idea for reference. And in my opinion, the IBN standard system is not fully mature, there is still a lot of room for exploration, and closing the IBN topics now may not be a good choice.








Proposed structure of IBN use case draft(merged version):

·         common scenarios and high-level requirements for IBN:

§  5G/6G, transport/carrier network, campus network, data center network; [refer to classification draft]

§ high level requirements:

§  Network planning:  flexible plug-and-play

§  Network construction: resilient scaling

§  OAM: performance guarantee,  network security as a service,  parameter optimization, network configuration verification

·         IBN-based solution for different use cases:

§  Performance monitoring: network measurement

§  draft-yang-nmrg-network-measurement-intent-06

§  routing and path selection：

§  draft-contreras-nmrg-interconnection-intents-03

§  draft-contreras-nmrg-transport-slice-intent-06

§  IBN for application-specific requirements:

§  wide-area bulk data transfer:

draft-yang-nmrg-data-transfer-intent-00

§  IoT data aggregation:

draft-jeong-nmrg-ibn-network-management-automation-01

·         Future work

§  IBN for security

§  etc...





Thanks and Best Regards,




Danyang

主题: [nmrg] NMRG current and futur topics - Please provide feedback Dear NMRG participants,
 
 A one-hour session of IETF 117 will be dedicated to discuss about the possible evolution of NMRG topics.
 Rather than only a discussion during the IETF 117 meeting, we kindly ask you to share your feedback to open questions below. This will allow us to prepare a consolidated version that can support our discussions during the IETF 117 meeting. 
 
 Please provide your inputs to the mailing list or the chairs. To help you (and also us :)) we have prepared some slides you can complete with your answers (no need to answer every question of course).
 
 Note that:
 - a side meeting is scheduled at IETF 117 (Wednesday, 26 July, 17:30 local time) to present and refine the inputs received before the official meeting (remote participation will be possible, see  https://wiki.ietf.org/en/meeting/117/sidemeetings for details)
 - digital twin topic is not directly addressed by questions below as there will be a specific thread for that.
 - we expect that authors of drafts in relation with topics mentioned below will provide substantial answers as their views regarding their current and possibly future contributions are essential.
 
 Best regards
 Laurent  & Jérôme
 NMRG chairs
 
 
 * General questions
 
 - What are the topics you would like to see (or not see) in NMRG?
 - For the identified topics, what types of contributions do you expect? what will their impact for the community (broader than NMRG)?
 - What types of contributions, approach/methodology and meetings the NMRG should consider: drafts? technical presentations? workshop series on particular topics?
 - What still make NMRG attractive? How to keep people active and interested between IETF meetings? 
 - Is NMRG too “old”? Should we close the RG?
 
 * Specific topic questions
 
 - IBN:
 -- What about drafts related to use cases? Strategy to finalize them?
 -- Is there are still remaining contributions NMRG could make?
 -- Close the IBN topics?
 
 - AI:
 -- What follow-ups after the "challenge documents"
 -- Should the group focus on particular challenges? By proposing what (solutions, models, PoCs..)?
 -- How to make the links between the challenges and the two proposed framework as IDs. How to make a impactful contributions beyond NMRG?
 -- Should we sync better with other groups and communities as the topic is very broad
 -- It seems that there is some interest about dataset quality and sharing (also in CNOM/NOMS community)? Create some joint activities regarding methods to evaluate dataset quality? Some initiatives to encourage data sharing (for example with specific dataset-related  workshop or with a dataset award)
 
 - Green networking
 -- How to scope the possible NMRG contributions to this topic?
 -- What would be the scope of work of green networking research in NMRG?  
 -- What would be the work items if we re-charter NMRG including this topic?  How to identify these work items? How to get the necessary inputs?
 -- How to synchronize with other initiatives at IETF/IRTF and beyond?
