Hi, folks, APN has been discussed in IETF for several times, and multiple use cases has been presented which shows its necessarities, I support the creation of a WG to push forward this work. Moreover, since Application-aware Network means encoding application-related information in the network layer, the future protocol design should avoid making the network-layer excessive complex, there should be a balance betweeen cost and the goals that APN pursues.

This topic needs collaboration across WGs; we can foresee that not all issues to be addressed are within the charter of RTGWG and would span beyond the Routing area. RTGWG is chartered to provide a venue for new work, there are a couple of different options and one option for handling such new work would be to recommend the development of a new WG. The Chairs would then want to recommend that the ADs consider forming a focus WG, with a set of well defined deliverables and milestones (after delivery the group would be shut down) to work on a framework for APN. We would like to solicit the WG for opinions. Please note that comments about existing APN documents should be sent to [email protected]. This thread focuses on support or objection to recommending that the ADs consider the formation of a new WG. Please send your comments, support, or objectiond. Thanks! Cheers, Yingzhen Jeff
