Further to my previous, I’ve now had a chance to skim
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zhou-intarea-aware-route-san-database/
It seems to me that this draft is “routing related”, and highly related to
CATS. In particular, the overlay of “service routing” with edges and relay
nodes is leveraged through knowledge of “compute resource status” injected into
the routing overlay network nodes.
Many of the issues addressed here seem to be directly overlapping with CATS in
terms of what problem is being solved, what metrics need to be advertised, and
how the overlay is built. While (obviously) this draft intends to leverage the
solution set developed as “SAN”, it would be worthwhile synchronising the use
case and problem statement with that in CATS.
One of the jobs of CATS, in the medium term, is to evaluate existing tools and
mechanisms to see what can address the CATS problems and where the gaps are. So
we would certainly welcome learning more about SAN and the use cases that the
authors hope to address.
Thanks,
Adrian

The work certainly seems related, but a quick reading suggests that the
approach chosen is to mark the traffic according to the service and then route
according to that marker. This seems (to me) to be closer to APNET proposals
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/apn/about/) where a charter is currently being
developed and discussed with the IESG.
I would certainly encourage the authors with their work, but also I would
invite them to try to contribute to existing work efforts and not create new
ones where there is overlap.
Cheers,
Adrian

Subject: [Cats] FW: [Int-area] Intarea WG agenda
For information to the CATS WG as the INTAREA WG agenda includes individual
drafts about "service aware network" (SAN). At first sight, those SAN drafts
look pretty close to the CATS charter.
So, feel free to join us in INTAREA WG meeting (or on the mailing list).
