A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : An Autonomic Control Plane Authors : Michael H. Behringer Steinthor Bjarnason Balaji BL Toerless Eckert Filename : draft-behringer-anima-autonomic-control-plane-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2014-10-17 Abstract: In certain scenarios, for example when bootstrapping a network, it is desirable to automatically bring up a secure, routed control plane, which is independent of device configurations and global routing table. This document describes an approach for a logically separated "Autonomic Control Plane", which can be used as a "virtual out of band channel" - a self-managing overlay network, which is independent of configuration, addressing and routing on the data plane.
