Re: [Openv6] APONF (Application-based Policy for Network Functions): new BOF for IETF 90 (requesting comments)

Hi,

Can you explain the specific relationship between this BOF and IPv6?
As far as I can see, it is 100% independent of the IP version (and that
is a good thing).

By the way, the topic of autonomic configuration by negotiation
between various network elements, which could include the elements
involved in the APONF scenarios, is the subject of another BOF
proposal, which also has no specific dependency on IPv6:
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/wiki/WikiStart#UCANproposal
APONF might be an additional use case for UCAN.

Regards
