  1. Autonomic Prefix Management in Large-scale Networks ANIMA WGIETF 94, November 2015 draft-jiang-anima-prefix-management Sheng Jiang (Speaker) Brian Carpenter Qiong Sun Zongpeng Du Page 1/5

  2. Motivation • To validate the application and reusability of Anima components • In large networks, prefix management still depends on human planning. Management of IPv6 prefixes is rigid and static after initial planning. • The autonomic networking mechanism is to dynamically and autonomically manage IPv6 address space in large-scale networks • Ideally, administrators just configure a single IPv6 prefix for the whole network and the initial prefix length for each device role. Page 2/5

  3. Auto Prefix Management • A prefix requesting device that needs new or more address space • It firstly discover the peer devices that may be able to provide extra address space by sending out Generic Autonomic Signaling Protocol (GRASP) [draft-ietf-anima-grasp] discovery message that contains a Prefix Objective option • Then obtain or negotiation a prefix allocation with discovered device also through GRASP • With in a single administrative domain, the network operator could manage all their devices with a given role set • A prefix management Intent, which contains all mapping information of device roles and their default prefix length, should be flooded • Intent flooding mechanism is currently missing, and some related work has been done in “Information Distribution over GRASP” [draft-liu-anima-grasp-distribution] • Discovery, negotiation & flooding messages should go through Autonomic Control Plane ACP [draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane] Page 3/5

  4. Prefix Management Intent in CBOR {"autonomic_intent": [ {"model_version": "1.0"}, {"intent_type": "Network management"}, {"autonomic_domain": "Customer_X_intranet"}, {"intent_name": "Prefix management"}, {"intent_version": 73}, {"Timestamp": "20150606 00:00:00"}, {"Lifetime": "Permanent"}, {"signature": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"}, {"content": [ {"role": [{"role_name": "RSG"}, {"role_characteristic": [{"prefix_length": "34"}]} ]}, {"role": [{"role_name": "ASG"}, {"role_characteristic": [{"prefix_length": "44"}]} ]}, {"role": [{"role_name": "CSG"}, {"role_characteristic": [{"prefix_length": "56"}]} ]} ] } ] } • In this example, the prefix length of • Radio Network Controller Site Gateway (RSG) is 34 • Aggregation Site Gateway (ASG): 44 • Cell Site Gateway (CSG): 56 Whether this should be named "Intent" is another discussion, out of scope for this document Page 4/5
