This document presents a proposal for a multi-purpose Generic Control
Protocol (IGCP) for IPv6 based networks. There is a growing need for
a generic control protocol framework that can be further customized
to specific usage contexts in which certain types of control
information exchange messages and behavior among some functional
entities hosted by different nodes is desired. For example, the
growing area of self-management, self-organization and autonomic
networking introduces functional entities into the node and network
architectures that need to exchange control information in order to
implement self-adaptive behavior and dynamic network configuration
and optimization. In this document, we capture a number of control
message exchange types of contexts for which a generic control
protocol would be desired. The extensibility of ICMPv6 offers the
room for designing such a generic control protocol. In this document,
we present our proposal for such a generic control protocol that is
based on extending ICMPv6, whose message format is divided into two
parts: a Common Part and a Generic Data Part that can be further
structured according to some usage context of control messages
further encapsulated by the Data Part that need to be parsed and used
by entities meant to interpret the Data Part. We also give an
example use case, where functional entities residing in different
nodes exchange information using the IGCP generic messages.
