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 while bringing up devices and networks tends to be more
difficult to automate than service provisioning later on, changes in
core network functions impacting reachability cannot be automated
because of ongoing connectivity requirements for the OAM equipment
itself, 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 processes with an
autonomic control plane in order to provide stable and secure
connectivity for those OAM processes. This connectivity is not
subject to aforementioned circular dependencies.
