The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Management of Networks with Constrained Devices: Use Cases' (draft-ietf-opsawg-coman-use-cases-05.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Operations and Management Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-coman-use-cases/ Technical Summary Constrained devices (limited CPU, memory, and power resources) can be connected to a network. This network may also be constrained or challenged (unreliable or lossy channels, wireless technologies with limited bandwidth and a dynamic topology). This may make traditional network management a poor fit for these networks. This document outlines use cases for a network with constrained devices. Document Quality This document provides an overview and introduction to constrained networks / networks with constrained devices. It discusses where they are typically used, and some of the challenges in managing them. Special thanks to Thomas Watteyne and Pascal Thubert for arranging additional review. Personnel Warren Kumari will be the document shepherd, Joel Jaeggli is taking over for Benoit Claise as sponsoring AD.
