Ballot Text

Technical Summary

This document defines a reference model for RFC7575 based Autonomic Networks, with the focus on how autonomic and traditional network nodes could coexist and operate and be managed together. This document focuses on an initial phases of autonomic network deployments, relying for its operation on existence of at least portions of fully managed non-autonomic network domains. Networks consisting only of autonomic nodes are explicitly out of scope due to much stringent security and trust aspects needed to be covered.
