Yes. GRASP could be used for the discovery and to set up communication, even if the actual communication uses something else. In any case, using the ACP for secure transport seems obvious. (By the way, I did experimentally add a raw send() recv() pair to GRASP, so that it could be used as a clear channel after discovery. That isn't in the GRASP spec but it is in my code.) > > If raw protocol, then it seems like a span/mirror/ functionality using IPFIX > or PCAPNG [over ACP] would be appropriate. > > If you want higher-level diagnostics, then I would use RESTCONF and YANG. > > -- > Michael Richardson <[email protected]> . o O ( IPv6 IøT consulting ) > Sandelman Software Works Inc, Ottawa and Worldwide > > > _______________________________________________ > Anima mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/anima > _______________________________________________ Anima mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/anima
