Hi OPSAWG and NMRG, Let me announce a Side Meeting on I2INF (Interface to In-Network Functions).
------------------------------------------ o IETF-121 I2INF Side Meeting - When: 3:00pm-4:30pm on November 5, 2024 (Wednesday) - Where: WMR 4 (Level: Second Floor) https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/121/floor-plan?room=wicklow-mr-4 - Agenda: https://github.com/jaehoonpauljeong/I2INF/blob/main/Side-Meeting/IETF-121/IETF121-I2INF-Side-Meeting-Agenda.txt - Meeting Materials: https://github.com/jaehoonpauljeong/I2INF/tree/main/Side-Meeting/IETF-121 - Zoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89634926657?pwd=3SBoUaOsQAn1BobXzPKIR2uH1XT4NC.1 o Goal of In-Network Functions (I2INF) - I2INF identifies the gaps for In-Network Functions (INF) in Computing in the Network (COIN) and comes up with a framework to manage such INFs in an autonomous way. An INF is a Programmable Network Device (PND) in an In-Network Computing (INC) environment that can have multiple kinds of capabilities to provision a user's service, consisting of Network Functions (NFs) and Application Functions (AFs). - This group tries to specify a problem statement for the Interface to In-Network Functions (I2INF) for user services both on the network-level and application-level. In-Network Functions (INF) include In-Network Computing Functions (INCF) which are defined in the context of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). INF also includes In-Network Application Functions (INAF) which appear in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT) Devices, Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Intent-Based Networking (IBN) can be used to compose user services and consist of a combination of INFs in a target network. This group investigates the need for a standard framework with the interfaces for INFs, in terms of applications with the need to run Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the network and interoperability among multi-vendor INFs. - The I2INF group aims at specifying a problem statement, use cases, and a framework with common interfaces for the management of INFs. - This group aims at standardizing an I2INF framework and the YANG data models for the capabilities of INFs and the I2INF interfaces. An intent or a policy for the INFs can be constructed by an XML file based on those YANG data models. The delivery of such an intent or a policy can be performed by either NETCONF or RESTCONF. - This group will specify the following items: (1) Interface to In-Network Functions (I2INF): Problem Statement and Use Cases, (2) A Framework for Interface to In-Network Functions (I2INF), and (3) YANG Data Models for the I2INF Capability and Interfaces. ----- o Agenda - Agenda Bash .
