Well, it sounds as if you plan to WGLC your negotiation protocol probably 
around the time we WGLC HNCP (or sooner? who knows).

 2) I am also a little nervous about the IoT reference in the
 charter. We haven't yet seen a use case description that would
 apply to IoT (which has IMHO a much broader scope than home
 networks, e.g. building services.)
 
 I think the initial focus is indeed on enterprise and carrier
 networks where the OPEX pain is greatest, but we should not
 artificially limit the applicability either.

I would just say that you aim at enterprise networks and leave it at that, 
then. Considering home networks, and even more so constrained devices in the 
IoT land have different management model and resources than your typical 
enterprise devices.

 There are the existing NMRG documents and there will be an
 overview document, but we are following quite specific direction
 from the ADs about this.

Well, at least providing links to them in the charter would be probably good 
idea then. As it is, it looks like ‘we have solution, here is the WG’ to me.

 It is not also clear to me how well the suitability of the
 solution has been evaluated. For implementation of some
 autonomic, distributed algorithms, point-to-point negotiation
 protocol such as the suggested solution is far from optimal.
 In case of homenet, we moved from hierarchical DHCPv6 PD
 (point-to-point hierarchy) to a distributed algorithm
 (draft-ietf-homenet-prefix-assignment*) which was result of
 over two years of draft updates, academic proving of
 correctness etc.
 There is a subtle point here. The idea is to produce generic
 components that do *not* imply specific autonomic algorithms. If
 we do it correctly, those components will support either a top
 down or a distributed mechanism or even a blend of the two
 approaches. So actually the solution choices come later: we
 don’t have to decide in advance between top-down and peer-to-peer.

A protocol (draft-jiang-config-negotiation-protocol) that is essentially 
point-to-point state push/pull mechanism does not seem like natural fit for 
that (+- some discovery).

The scalable solutions with such protocol require hierarchies of delegation. 
For example, given prefix delegation problem, the reasonable (=low number of 
total message exchanges) solutions wind up subdividing the prefix 
hierarchically, or alternatively with some ‘god node’(s) that perform the 
allocations. It becomes harder if you have multiple sources of same resource 
(=prefix) or want to be robust in case of failure.

 although it is covered
 only by one mention in the whole charter (and the rest does
 not seem very IoT oriented).
 So should we say in the charter that the scope is everything but
 the initial focus is enterprise and carrier?

Or that you are developing enterprise solution and it can work for anything 
with luck. 

 Looking at the solutions, from homenet developer / draft
 writer point of view, I would welcome a general trust
 bootstrapping framework. I am not convinced by the current
 solution draft for that (it assumes too many components for a
 home network case at least). A lot of the other things seem
 somewhat enterprise-y (control plane with IPsec, own routing
 protocol and ULAs? Not in IoT device at least, nor probably
 in constrained homenet router), or just unsuitable, such as
 the negotiation protocol that does not seem like a good fit
 for distributed decision making which is usually the key
 thing in autonomic networking.
 That means we have explained the negotiation idea badly. It is
 not top-down negotiation like
 draft-boucadair-network-automation-requirements. It is peer to
 peer with top-down as a special case.

Sure, it is simple ‘who is there’, ’{can I haz X, (yes|no|no but you can have 
Y)}+’  protocol as far as I can read the draft anyway 
(draft-jiang-config-negotiation-protocol-02)

It is not obvious to me how it would be even used to tell other all other nodes 
about e.g. change in some network parameter (say, NTP server). Is it a 
‘request’? Who is it sent to? How to prevent duplication of sending it to nodes 
that already did receive it?

From my point of view, a general network infra protocol needs

- discovery
- state push/pull _network wide_

HNCP does this; I am not sure how CDNP can be used for this, but I welcome 
examples.

Based on the previous UCAN BoF, we are considering having an ANIMA WG: 
Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach
This is now a proposed charter, under consideration by the IESG.
This is your chance to provide feedback on

Note also that a BoF has been requested, just in case.
Since HOMENET was mentioned during the UCAN BoF, I thought of double-checking 
with you guys.

TL;DR: Please either add homenet (and solutions already in the WG) to the WG 
goals, or drop IoT too and just focus on enterprise.

Looking at the milestones, I am very curious about lack of requirements or 
architecture work before promoting solutions and even WGLCing them.
As mentioned in 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/anima/current/msg00246.html


   A few observations, to start with:
   1. Autonomic Networking could be a huge explanatory field.
   2. From the BoF, we heard (among other points):
There is interest but focus ... focus ... focus on things that
   could be done quickly
   3. The IESG has also been realizing that the process of problem
   statement/use cases/requirements/architecture/protocol takes way too
   long for the industry.
   4. If a great architecture document to rule all autonomic functions
   would have been easy, it would been done already. In NMRG for
   example, which had plenty of time to think about it! So an
   architecture as a starting point is not the right approach.
   5. A WG can always be re-chartered in future phases

   These are the reasons why Joel and I asked the BoF chairs to lead a
   charter discussion, focusing on only 2 use cases




Notably, adoption of a solution (discovery+negotiation protocol) before 
adoption of use cases seems like putting cart before the horse.

Valid point.

which works (it was mentioned there before in e.g. IETF 90 not-quite-WG-forming

Indeed a valid point, however before concluding here, some insights 
might help:

-OPS ADs gave guidance to focus on (applicability on) 2 use cases only.
-The solution adoption milestone shall read as _applicability_ of 
the protocols onto the two proposed/elected use cases (the milestone 
should be rewritten in that sense for more clarity).
-The WG aims at developing protocols reusable _among __multiple_ 
use cases.
-An initial step of the WG should be to extract, from these 
multiple use cases, the boundaries / problems these protocols have to

My worry on this topic is that we are referring to ³the Home² and ³the
Enterprise².
It isn¹t that clear of a distinction.  This isn¹t just a simple L2 flat
home vs. a Fortune 1000 enterprise.

The home is getting more complex and includes work from home; IOT, home
security, hot spots, cloud services, policies, discovery etc.
Large numbers of SMB¹s look like more high end residential than they do
large enterprises.

It would be ideal to have a solution that spans the range of size and

Perhaps enabling features/capabilities where required.

Also, as far as IPV6 connectivity residential is probably ahead of
enterprises in adopting V6 centric architectures and services.
Residential doesn¹t have much of a choice, it just happens.

I see your point; if you think that much IoT will be in the home.

However, there are significant areas of IoT deployment into industrial
settings which have very different availability of human resources.

While in the home, there is perhaps an IoT : HUMAN ration of 1000:1,
which is to say that in an average home of 100 devices, there is barely
10% of a human available set them up, in industrial settings the ratio
could be even worse (1:1?), but still that might leave a team of ten
trained humans available to create Intents.

I also think ISP networks and enterprise networks are different from home 
networks. Although many requirements may looks similar, particularly 
considering the auto operation target, there are many preconditions are 
different. It could result on different solution though some components may be 
reusable among these networks.

For ANIMA, we should surely study what homenet is working on and identify the

P.S.: Also, if i may throw in some random tidbit of technology thoughts:

I love home networks (and the WG for it), because it is the best place
for IPv6 to eliminate IPv4 and start creating fresh, better IP
network. I have a lot of doubt that we are anywhere close to going that
route especially in larger enterprises, so the address management for
IPv4 in those networks is going to be a crucial requirement where i don't
think homenet could (or should) be any big help. And i am not sure if i would
want to hold my breath for a lot of IPv4 adress complexity reduction in
IoT either. But certainly autonomic processes cold rather help than hurt
in that matter.

 Also, as far as IPV6 connectivity residential is probably ahead of
 enterprises in adopting V6 centric architectures and services.
 Residential doesn¹t have much of a choice, it just happens.

 FWIW, it is not clear to me that the reasonable requirements
 for provisioning device security information (or bootstrapping
 if we wanted to call it that) are the same.
 
 In enterprise environments we see fewer larger vendors of devices.
 In the home where we additionally have a large range of vendors
 many of whom are tiny and leverage a lot of OSS and who could
 perhaps not take part in the kind of provisioning infrastructure
 that is quite reasonable for enterprises and their vendors.
 
 I do think both want to end up in the same state, where devices
 are authorised for connection to the network and where there is
 some keying material usable for security, but I'd be surprised
 if one approach to getting there worked the same way for both
 homes and enterprises.
