Dear ANIMA WG enthusiasts
This email starts a three-week adoption call for drafts
draft-zhu-anima-lightweight-grasp
The timeline is longer than the usual two weeks because we have other drafts
up for adoption call in parallel.
[ Note that the file name only includes "lightweight" to make the revision
history easier,
the text already calls it constrained GRASP (cGRASP). It would/should be
renamed
to "constrained" during adoption. ]
This draft has undergone already several rounds of improvements and good
discussions on the list and during WG meetings. However, investing more
substantial
work into this effort would be much better spent if it was clear that the WG
agrees to carry this effort through, and hence this adoption call.
Constrained GRASP is a necessarily element for implementation of an ANIMA ANI on
constrained devices without requirements for TCP. It even more so would be
required
by ASA on devices without TCP. This includes potentially even
devices without IP, such as in BLE networks.
Constrained GRASP could have benefits also for non-constrained environements -
it could eliminate the need for different protocol approaches for
constrained/unconstrained
ANI environments.
Also, cGRASP could provide in-network flooding that could aleviate the need to
encumber
IGP protocols with additional, non-routing related information that needs to be
flooded.
So, please review, provide feedback, also if you are interested to help
as author or contributor.
And as always: If you don't like something, please explain.
