[OPSAWG] bof proposal review

["Marc Blanchet" <[e-mail]>]

Hello,
  the bof proposal below have been sent to OPS ADs (and INT ADs) and 
posted on the BOF wiki page. Benoît asked that this to be  discussed 
here, since there is no public mailing list yet for this topic (we shall 
soon).

  The primary purpose of the BOF is to extend the discussion to more 
operators (and other parties obviously) than the initial set to get an 
(hopefully) common set of requirements and identifying possible protocol 
work. It is a non- wg forming.

Regards, Marc.

===========

Name: IP Provisioning for SDN/NFV (ipprov)
Description: With the dynamic nature of SDN/NFV networks, providers and 
data center operators have to manage more dynamically the IP addressing 
and provisioning of network nodes, including various network transition 
scenarios such as IPv4 as a service, where IP address and prefixes 
consumption are critical and require timely and dynamic reallocations. 
An initial set of providers have expressed requirements, but with 
different scopes (eg: only IP addressing and prefix management and 
delegation, vs larger provisioning scope). Some initial prototyping of 
solutions and field trial has started. The intent of the bof is to 
gather a common set of requirements from a larger set of operators and, 
if needed, possible protocol work milestones and scope.
