[saag] ANIMA report

["Nancy Cam-Winget (ncamwing)" <[e-mail]>]

Anima met on Monday morning.

The following updates and presentations were made:

  *   Updates from the “anima signaling design team” (to coincide with draft-carpenter-anima-gdn-protocol-04)
     *   Discussion of the goals and issues assigned to the design team and approaches taken.
     *   Discussion resulted in updating requirements for use by Autonomic Service Agents (ASAs), now 25 items.
     *   Wiki is available with a “toy” implementation and conceptual ASA APIs to help vet the APIs and protocol engine
     *   Rename GDNP to GRASP
     *   Advise on use of binary vs. object oriented attribute representation (hum) resulted in preference for object oriented scheme
  *   Updates from the “bootstrapping” focused on draft-pritikin-bootstrapping-keyinfra-02
     *   Added state diagrams, simplified architecture diagram and updated document structure
     *   Reduced security operational modes to compensate for constrained nodes (considerations for these are noted)
     *   Discussion of anima bootstrap vs. netconf; presentation of similarities, differences and suggested resolution/convergence
  *   Updates on Autonomic Control Plane
     *   Discussion on draft updates and review of workflow
     *   Discussion of requirements

Adoption of the three above drafts were favorable from the hum results.

Presentation of the Reference model:
 - Discussion of the reference model: delineation of ASA functions and autonomic networking infrastructures
 - Discussion of issues remaining (some discussed included naming and its usage, IPv6 only vs including IPv4)
 - Presentation of proposed addressing schemes and sub-schemes

Thanks, Nancy.
