Abstract:
OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance - as per BCP161,
[RFC6291]) processes for data networks are often subject to the
problem of circular dependencies when relying on connectivity
provided by the network to be managed for the OAM purposes.
Provisioning during device/network bring up tends to be far less easy
to automate than service provisioning later on, changes in core
network functions impacting reachability may not be easy to be
automated either because of ongoing connectivity requirements for the
OAM, and widely used OAM protocols are not secure enough to be
carried across the network without security concerns.
This document describes how to integrate OAM with the autonomic
control plane (ACP) in Autonomic Networks (AN) to provide stable and
secure connectivity for conducting OAM. This connectivity is not
subject to aforementioned circular dependencies.
