Abstract:
As operators struggle to optimize their network for different
applications while maximizing network resources usage, there's
growing business pressure to minimize operational tasks and the
deployment time of new services.
New automation paradigms are meant to help reach these goals,
including the optimization of network functions through application
control. This control could be signaled directly by an application,
through a proxy or orchestrated in a centralized manner.
The current version of the Shared Unified Policy Automation (SUPA)
group charter identifies two fields where standardization would be
desirable for operators: the definition of a generic model for the
description of network topologies at any layer and with any degree
of granularity, and the definition of a standardized model for
applications to push policies toward a central network controller.
The first of these topics, the topology modeling, is meant to
support the definition and application of the second. The present
memo analyses the current state of the art of the industries
regarding these two topics and discusses whether an IETF
standardization is desirable and for which reasons.
