This draft proposes additional communication patterns for the NSIS framework, including the Echo pattern and Path-directed pattern, to enhance network resource discovery and distributed network management. The goal is to identify further interest and define new MRM extensions to GIST.

Additional NSIS Communication Patternsdraft-stiemerling-nsis-mrm-patterns-00 M. Stiemerling and M. Brunner {stiemerling|brunner}@netlab.nec.de NSIS Working Group, 66th IETF meeting
Motivation • Applications need to find network resources • Distributed network management • Overlay node detection • Required nodes need not to be strictly on data path • NW management searches for nodes “neighbours” • Overlay nodes searching some function close to a path (where is a relay?) • Separation of communication pattern and functionality
GIST’s MRM • GIST is already locating nodes in the network with a particular property • i.e., finding some network resource • GIST already provides two communication patterns • Path-coupled MRM • Loose-end MRM • MRM is modular • Other types of MRM can be added
Additional Patterns • Echo pattern • locate nodes close to the application's node • Starts at a single point (node) • Distributing in rings from the center • Uses a configurable diameter • Path-directed pattern • Locate specific nodes close to data path between two nodes • Follow data path • Expands search to the side of the path • Use a sideways expansion parameter
Goals & Non-Goals • Non-goals • Immediate integration into GIST • Senseless patterns (e.g. Xmas tree) • Goals • Identifying further interest (people, use cases, and applications) • Definition of new MRM (as extension to GIST)
