A Reference Model for Autonomic Networking
draft-ietf-anima-reference-model-10
Abstract
This document describes a reference model for Autonomic Networking
for managed networks. It defines the behaviour of an autonomic node,
how the various elements in an autonomic context work together, and
how autonomic services can use the infrastructure.
