Title : A Generic Discovery and Negotiation Protocol for Autonomic Networking Authors : Brian Carpenter Bing Liu Filename : draft-carpenter-anima-gdn-protocol-01.txt Pages : 42 Date : 2015-01-05 Abstract: This document establishes requirements for a protocol that enables intelligent devices to dynamically discover peer devices, to synchronize state with them, and to negotiate mutual configurations with them. The document then defines a general protocol for discovery, synchronization and negotiation, while the technical objectives for specific scenarios are to be described in separate documents. An Appendix briefly discusses existing protocols as possible alternatives.
