A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Network Management Working Group of the IETF. Title : Autonomic Networking - Definitions and Design Goals Authors : Michael Behringer Max Pritikin Steinthor Bjarnason Alexander Clemm Brian Carpenter Sheng Jiang Laurent Ciavaglia Filename : draft-irtf-nmrg-autonomic-network-definitions-05.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2014-12-16 Abstract: Autonomic systems were first described in 2001. The fundamental goal is self-management, including self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection. This is achieved by an autonomic function having minimal dependencies on human administrators or centralized management systems. It usually implies distribution across network elements. This document defines common language, and outlines design goals and non-design goals for autonomic functions. A high level reference model illustrates how functional elements in an autonomic network interact.
