The Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach (ANIMA) working group develops and maintains specifications and documentation for interoperable protocols and procedures for automated network management and control of professionally-managed networks. The vision is a network that configures, heals, optimizes and protects itself. The strategy is the incremental introduction of components to smoothly evolve existing and new networks accordingly. ANIMA work will rely on the framework described in draft-ietf-anima-reference-model already approved for publication. Work not related to this framework is welcome for review, but WG adoption of such work requires explicit rechartering. The two concrete areas of the reference model are (1) the Autonomic Networking Infrastructure (ANI), and (2) Autonomic Functions (AF) built from software modules called Autonomic Service Agents (ASA). The ANI is specified through prior ANIMA work. It is composed of the Autonomic Control Plane (ACP; RFC 8368), Bootstrap over Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI) including Vouchers (RFC8366), and the Generic Autonomic Signaling Protocol (GRASP). ANIMA will work on closing gaps and extending the ANI and its components. ANIMA will start to define Autonomic Functions (AF) to enable service automation in networks; it will also work on generic aspects of ASA including design guidelines and lifecycle management, coordination and dependency management. The reference model also discusses Intent, but ANIMA will not work on this without explicit rechartering. It will rely on the Network Management Research Group (NMRG) to define the next steps for this topic. ANIMA will coordinate with other IETF and IRTF groups as needed. New work items will be adopted by the WG only if their contributors target them to enter WG last call within a number of IETF meeting cycles agreed by the AD. Subject to this limitation, the indicative scope of possible work items includes: - Extensions to the ANI, including variations of ANI deployment (e.g. in virtualised environments), information distribution within an AN, ANI OAMP interfaces (Operations, Administration, Management, Provisioning), interaction with YANG-based mechanisms, defining the domain boundary and membership management of the domain. - Support for Autonomic Service Agents, including design and implementation guidelines for ASAs, life cycle management, authorisation and coordination of ASA. - BRSKI features, including proxies, enrolment, adaptions over various network protocols, variations of voucher formats. - Generic use cases of Autonomic Network and new GRASP extensions/options for them, including but not limited to bulk transfer, DNS-SD interworking, autonomic resource management, autonomic SLA assurance, autonomic multi-tenant management, autonomic network measurement. - Integration with Network Operations Centers (NOCs), including autonomic discovery/connectivity to NOC, YANG-based ANI/ASA management by the NOC and reporting AF from node to NOC. The initial set of milestones targets documents for the following topics. - Lifecycle and Management of Autonomic Service Agents (ASA) - Guidelines for developing Autonomic Service Agents (ASA) - Information distribution over GRASP - Constrained Voucher Artifacts for Bootstrapping Protocols - Constrained Join Proxy for Bootstrapping Protocols
