RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 20151.  Introduction to Autonomic Networking   Autonomic systems were first described in a manifesto by IBM in 2001   [Kephart].  The fundamental concept involves eliminating external   systems from a system's control loops and closing of control loops   within the autonomic system itself, with the goal of providing the   system with self-management capabilities, including self-   configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection.   IP networking was initially designed with similar properties in mind.   An IP network should be distributed and redundant to withstand   outages in any part of the network.  Routing protocols such as OSPF   and IS-IS exhibit properties of self-management and can thus be   considered autonomic in the definition of this document.   However, as IP networking evolved, the ever-increasing intelligence   of network elements was often not put into protocols to follow this   paradigm, but was put into external configuration systems.  This   configuration made network elements dependent on some process that   manages them, either a human or a network management system.   Autonomic functions can be defined in two ways:   o  On a node level: Nodes interact with each other to form feedback      loops.   o  On a system level: Feedback loops include central elements as      well.   System-level autonomy is implicitly or explicitly the subject in many   IETF working groups, where interactions with controllers or network   management systems are discussed.   This work specifically focuses on node-level autonomic functions.  It   focuses on intelligence of algorithms at the node level, to minimize   dependency on human administrators and central management systems.   Some network deployments benefit from a fully autonomic approach, for   example, networks with a large number of relatively simple devices.   Most currently deployed networks, however, will require a mixed   approach, where some functions are autonomic and others are centrally   managed.  Central management of networking functions clearly has   advantages and will be chosen for many networking functions.  This   document does not discuss which functions should be centralized or   follow an autonomic approach.  Instead, it should help make the   decision which is the best approach for a given situation.Behringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   Autonomic function cannot always discover all required information;   for example, policy-related information requires human input, because   policy is by its nature derived and specified by humans.  Where input   from some central intelligence is required, it is provided in a   highly abstract, network-wide form.   Autonomic Computing in general and Autonomic Networking in particular   have been the subject of academic study for many years.  There is   much literature, including several useful overview papers (e.g.,   [Samaan], [Movahedi], and [Dobson]).  In the present document, we   focus on concepts and definitions that seem sufficiently mature to   become the basis for interoperable specifications in the near future.   In particular, such specifications will need to coexist with   traditional methods of network configuration and management, rather   than realizing an exclusively autonomic system with all the   properties that it would require.   There is an important difference between "automatic" and "autonomic".   "Automatic" refers to a predefined process, such as a script.   "Autonomic" is used in the context of self-management.  It includes   feedback loops between elements as well as northbound to central   elements.  See also the definitions in the next section.  Generally,   an automatic process works in a given environment but has to be   adapted if the environment changes.  An autonomic process can adapt   to changing environments.   This document provides the definitions and design goals for Autonomic   Networking in the IETF and IRTF.  It represents the consensus of the   IRTF's Network Management Research Group (NMRG).2.  Definitions   We make the following definitions.   Autonomic: Self-managing (self-configuring, self-protecting, self-   healing, self-optimizing); however, allowing high-level guidance by a   central entity, through Intent (see below).  An autonomic function   adapts on its own to a changing environment.   Automatic: A process that occurs without human intervention, with   step-by-step execution of rules.  However, it relies on humans   defining the sequence of rules, so is not Autonomic in the full   sense.  For example, a start-up script is automatic but not   autonomic.  An automatic function may need manual adjustments if the   environment changes.Behringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   Intent: An abstract, high-level policy used to operate the network.   Its scope is an autonomic domain, such as an enterprise network.  It   does not contain configuration or information for a specific node   (seeSection 3.2 on how Intent coexists with alternative management   paradigms).  It may contain information pertaining to a node with a   specific role (for example, an edge switch) or a node running a   specific function.  Intent is typically defined and provided by a   central entity.   Autonomic Domain: A collection of autonomic nodes that instantiate   the same Intent.   Autonomic Function: A feature or function that requires no   configuration and can derive all required information through self-   knowledge, discovery, or Intent.   Autonomic Service Agent: An agent implemented on an autonomic node   that implements an autonomic function, either in part (in the case of   a distributed function) or whole.   Autonomic Node: A node that employs exclusively autonomic functions.   It requires (!) no configuration.  (Note that configuration can be   used to override an autonomic function.  SeeSection 3.2 for more   details.)  An Autonomic Node may operate on any layer of the   networking stack.  Examples are routers, switches, personal   computers, call managers, etc.   Autonomic Network: A network containing exclusively autonomic nodes.   It may contain one or several autonomic domains.3.  Design Goals   This section explains the high-level goals of Autonomic Networking,   independent of any specific solutions.3.1.  Self-Management   The original design goals of autonomic systems as described in   [Kephart] also apply to Autonomic Networks.  The overarching goal is   self-management, which is comprised of several "self" properties.   The most commonly cited are:   o  Self-configuration: Functions do not require configuration, by      either an administrator or a management system.  They configure      themselves, based on self-knowledge, discovery, and Intent.      Discovery is the default way for an autonomic function to receive      the information it needs to operate.Behringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 5]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   o  Self-healing: Autonomic functions adapt on their own to changes in      the environment and heal problems automatically.   o  Self-optimizing: Autonomic functions automatically determine ways      to optimize their behavior against a set of well-defined goals.   o  Self-protection: Autonomic functions automatically secure      themselves against potential attacks.   Almost any network can be described as "self-managing", as long as   the definition of "self" is large enough.  For example, a well-   defined Software-Defined Networking (SDN) system, including the   controller elements, can be described overall as "autonomic", if the   controller provides an interface to the administrator that has the   same properties as mentioned above (high level, network-wide, etc.).   For the work in the IETF and IRTF, we define the "self" properties on   the node level.  It is the design goal to make functions on network   nodes self-managing, in other words, minimally dependent on   management systems or controllers, as well as human operators.  Self-   managing functions on a node might need to exchange information with   other nodes in order to achieve this design goal.   As mentioned in the introduction, closed-loop control is an important   aspect of self-managing systems.  This implies peer-to-peer dialogues   between the parties that make up the closed loop.  Such dialogues   require two-way "discussion" or "negotiation" between each pair or   groups of peers involved in the loop, so they cannot readily use   typical top-down command-response protocols.  Also, a discovery phase   is unavoidable before such closed-loop control can take place.   Multiparty protocols are also possible but can be significantly more   complex.3.2.  Coexistence with Traditional Management   For the foreseeable future, autonomic nodes and networks will be the   exception; autonomic behavior will initially be defined function by   function.  Therefore, coexistence with other network management   paradigms has to be considered.  Examples are management by command   line, SNMP, SDN (with related APIs), the Network Configuration   Protocol (NETCONF), etc.   Conflict resolution between a) autonomic default behavior and Intent   and b) other methods is therefore required.  This is achieved through   prioritization.  Generally, autonomic mechanisms define a network-   wide behavior, whereas the alternative methods are typically on a   node-by-node basis.  Node-based management concepts take a higher   priority over autonomic methods.  This is in line with currentBehringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   examples of autonomic functions; for example, with routing, a   (statically configured) route has priority over the routing   algorithm.  In short:   o  lowest priority: autonomic default behavior   o  medium priority: autonomic Intent   o  highest priority: node-specific network management concepts, such      as command line, SNMP, SDN, NETCONF, etc.  How these concepts are      prioritized is outside the scope of this document.   The above prioritization essentially results in the actions of the   human administrator always being able to overrule autonomic behavior.   This is generally the expectation of network operators today and   therefore remains a design principle here.  In critical systems, such   as atomic power plants, sometimes the opposite philosophy is used:   The expectation is that a well-defined algorithm is more reliable   than a human operator, especially in rare exception cases.   Networking generally does not follow this philosophy yet.  However,   warnings should be issued if node-specific overrides may conflict   with autonomic behavior.   In other fields, autonomic mechanisms disengage automatically if   certain conditions occur: The autopilot in a plane switches off if   the plane is outside a predefined envelope of flight parameters.  The   assumption is that the algorithms only work correctly if the input   values are in expected ranges.  However, some opinions suggest that   exactly in exceptional conditions is the worst moment to switch off   autonomic behavior, since the pilots have no full understanding of   the situation at this point and may be under high levels of stress.   For this reason, we suggest here to NOT generally disable autonomic   functions if they encounter unexpected conditions, because it is   expected that this adds another level of unpredictability in   networks, when the situation may already be hard to understand.3.3.  Secure by Default   All autonomic interactions should be secure by default.  This   requires that any member of an autonomic domain can assert its   membership using a domain identity, for example, a certificate issued   by a domain certification authority.  This domain identity is used   for nodes to learn about their neighboring nodes, to determine the   boundaries of the domain, and to cryptographically secure   interactions within the domain.  Nodes from different domains can   also mutually verify their identity and secure interactions as long   as they have a mutually respected trust anchor.Behringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 7]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   A strong, cryptographically verifiable domain identity is a   fundamental cornerstone in Autonomic Networking.  It can be leveraged   to secure all communications and thus allows automatic security   without traditional configuration, for example, preshared keys.  See   also the document "Making The Internet Secure By Default" [Behringer]   for more information.   Autonomic functions must be able to adapt their behavior depending on   the domain of the node they are interacting with.3.4.  Decentralization and Distribution   The goal of Autonomic Networking is to minimize dependencies on   central elements; therefore, decentralization and distribution are   fundamental to the concept.  If a problem can be solved in a   distributed manner, it should not be centralized.   In certain cases, it is today operationally preferable to keep a   central repository of information, for example, a user database on an   Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server.  An   Autonomic Network should be able to use such central systems, in   order to be deployable.  It is possible to distribute such databases   as well, and such efforts should be at least considered.  Depending   on the case, distribution may not be simple replication but may   involve more complex interactions and organization.3.5.  Simplification of Autonomic Node Northbound Interfaces   Even in a decentralized solution, certain information flows with   central entities are required.  Examples are high-level service   definitions, as well as network status requests, audit information,   logging, and aggregated reporting.   Therefore, nodes in an Autonomic Network require a northbound   interface.  However, the design goal is to maintain this interface as   simple and high level as possible.3.6.  Abstraction   An administrator or autonomic management system interacts with an   Autonomic Network on a high level of abstraction.  Intent is defined   at a level of abstraction that is much higher than that of typical   configuration parameters, for example, "optimize my network for   energy efficiency".  Intent must not be used to convey low-level   commands or concepts, since those are on a different abstraction   level.Behringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 8]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   For example, the administrator should not be exposed to the version   of the IP protocol running in the network.   Also on the reporting and feedback side, an Autonomic Network   abstracts information and provides high-level messages such as "the   link between node x and y is down" (possibly with an identifier for   the specific link, in case of multiple links).3.7.  Autonomic Reporting   An Autonomic Network, while minimizing the need for user   intervention, still needs to provide users with visibility like in   traditional networks.  However, in an Autonomic Network, reporting   should happen on a network-wide basis.  Information about the network   should be collected and aggregated by the network itself and   presented in a consolidated fashion to the administrator.   The layers of abstraction that are provided via Intent need to be   supported for reporting functions as well, in order to give users an   indication about the effectiveness of their Intent.  For example, in   order to assess how effective the network performs with regards to   the Intent "optimize my network for energy efficiency", the network   should provide aggregate information about the number of ports that   were able to be shut down, and the corresponding energy savings,   while validating current service levels are, on aggregate, still met.   Autonomic network events should concern the Autonomic Network as a   whole, not individual systems in isolation.  For example, the same   failure symptom should not be reported from every system that   observes it, but only once for the Autonomic Network as a whole.   Ultimately, the Autonomic Network should support exception-based   management, in which only events that truly require user attention   actually cause the user to be notified.  This requires capabilities   that allow systems within the network to compare information and   apply specific algorithms to determine what should be reported.3.8.  Common Autonomic Networking Infrastructure   [RFC7576] points out that there are already a number of autonomic   functions available today.  However, they are largely independent,   and each has its own methods and protocols to communicate, discover,   define, and distribute policy, etc.   The goal of the work on Autonomic Networking in the IETF is therefore   not just to create autonomic functions but to define a common   infrastructure that autonomic functions can use.  This Autonomic   Networking Infrastructure may contain common control and managementBehringer, et al.             Informational                     [Page 9]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 2015   functions such as messaging, service discovery, negotiation, Intent   distribution, self-monitoring, and diagnostics, etc.  A common   approach to define and manage Intent is also required.   Refer to the reference model below: All the components around the   "Autonomic Service Agents" should be common components, such that the   Autonomic Service Agents do not have to replicate common tasks   individually.3.9.  Independence of Function and Layer   Autonomic functions may reside on any layer in the networking stack.   For example, Layer 2 switching today is already relatively autonomic   in many environments, since most switches can be plugged together in   many ways and will automatically build a simple Layer 2 topology.   Routing functions run on a higher layer and can be autonomic on Layer   3.  Even application-layer functionality such as unified   communications can be autonomic.   "Autonomic" in the context of this framework is a property of a   function that is implemented on a node.  Autonomic functions can be   implemented on any node type, for example, a switch, router, server,   or call manager.   An Autonomic Network requires an overall control plane for autonomic   nodes to communicate.  As in general IP networking, IP is the   spanning layer that binds all those elements together; autonomic   functions in the context of this framework should therefore operate   at the IP layer.  This concerns neighbor discovery protocols and   other functions in the Autonomic Control Plane.3.10.  Full Life-Cycle Support   An autonomic function does not depend on external input to operate;   it needs to understand its current situation and surroundings and   operate according to its current state.  Therefore, an autonomic   function must understand the full life cycle of the device it runs   on, from manufacturing and initial testing through deployment,   testing, troubleshooting, and decommissioning.   The state of the life cycle of an autonomic node is reflected in a   state model.  The behavior of an autonomic function may be different   for different deployment states.Behringer, et al.             Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 20154.  Not among the Design Goals   This section identifies various items that are explicitly not design   goals in the IETF and IRTF for Autonomic Networks; they are mentioned   to avoid misunderstandings of the general intention.  They address   some commonly expressed concerns from network administrators and   architects.4.1.  Eliminate Human OperatorsSection 3.1 states that "It is the design goal to make functions   [...] minimally dependent on [...] human operators".  However, it is   not a design goal to completely eliminate them.  The problem targeted   by Autonomic Networking is the error-prone and hard-to-scale model of   individual configuration of network elements, traditionally by manual   commands but today mainly by scripting and/or configuration   management databases.  This does not, however, imply the elimination   of skilled human operators, who will still be needed for oversight,   policy management, diagnosis, reaction to help-desk tickets, etc.   The main impact on administrators should be less tedious detailed   work and more high-level work.  (They should become more like doctors   than hospital orderlies.)4.2.  Eliminate Emergency Fixes   However good the autonomous mechanisms, sometimes there will be fault   conditions, etc., that they cannot deal with correctly.  At that   point, skilled operator interventions will be needed to correct or   work around the problem.  Hopefully, this can be done by high-level   mechanisms (adapting the policy database in some way), but, in some   cases, direct intervention at the device level may be unavoidable.   This is obviously the case for hardware failures, even if the   Autonomic Network has bypassed the fault for the time being.  "Truck   rolls" will not be eliminated when faulty equipment needs to be   replaced.  However, this may be less urgent if the autonomic system   automatically reconfigures to minimize the operational impact.4.3.  Eliminate Central Control   While it is a goal to simplify northbound interfaces (Section 3.5),   it is not a goal to eliminate central control, but to allow it on a   higher abstraction level.  Senior management might fear loss of   control of an Autonomic Network.  In fact, this is no more likely   than with a traditional network; the emphasis on automatically   applying general policy and security rules might even provide more   central control.Behringer, et al.             Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 7575                  Autonomic Networking                 June 20155.  An Autonomic Reference Model   An Autonomic Network consists of Autonomic Nodes.  Those nodes   communicate with each other through an Autonomic Control Plane that   provides a robust and secure communications overlay.  The Autonomic   Control Plane is self-organizing and autonomic itself.   An Autonomic Node contains various elements, such as autonomic   service agents that implement autonomic functions.  Figure 1 shows a   reference model of an autonomic node.  The elements and their   interaction are:   o  Autonomic Service Agents: They implement the autonomic behavior of      a specific service or function.   o  Self-knowledge: An autonomic node knows its own properties and      capabilities   o  Network Knowledge (Discovery): An Autonomic Service Agent may      require various discovery functions in the network, such as      service discovery.   o  Feedback Loops: Control elements outside the node may interact      with autonomic nodes through feedback loops.   o  An Autonomic User Agent, providing a front-end to external users      (administrators and management applications) through which they      can receive reports and monitor the Autonomic Network.   o  Autonomic Control Plane: Allows the node to communicate with other      autonomic nodes.  Autonomic functions such as Intent distribution,      feedback loops, discovery mechanisms, etc., use the Autonomic      Control Plane.  The Autonomic Control Plane can run in-band, over      a configured VPN, over a self-managing overlay network as      described in [ACP], or over a traditional out-of-band network.      Security is a requirement for the Autonomic Control Plane, which      can be bootstrapped by a mechanism as described in [BOOTSTRAP].Behringer, et al.
