Except that homenet has a limited scope and is well advanced
in its work.
Still some of the essential underlying problems are the same and I think
you should not discard the progress in this working group all too
quickly. Instead adopting concepts and ideas from homenet could very
much benefit ANIMA. The underlying problems of "state synchronization"
or "negotiation" are the same. Sure we've already built something on top
of that but why not look at the foundation.
Not really. The details are all to be discussed of course, but
the concept is fundamental to autonomics: devices talk to each
other rather than receiving instructions from above. (As Rene
Struik has pointed out, there is another way to look at it,
state synchronization, but that's largely a difference of
terminology.)
Well I think your statement is a bit premature here. Yes, a negotiation
protocol is certainly necessary.
However even superficially comparing
draft-jiang-config-negotiation-protocol with draft-ietf-homenet-hncp
shows that the problem can be tackled by completely different approaches
and it would surprise me if these were the only ways to do it. Plus I
can't really tell from a first quick look at it which of these
approaches is more generic than the other. Perhaps we should try to
compare both and see what could be improved in either variant or maybe
find another variant which combines the best of both worlds?
Cheers,
Steven
