GeneRic Autonomic Signaling Protocol
RFC 8990, “GeneRic Autonomic Signaling Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2021 by C. Bormann, B. Carpenter, B. Liu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the GeneRic Autonomic Signaling Protocol (GRASP), which enables autonomic nodes and Autonomic Service Agents to dynamically discover peers, to synchronize state with each other, and to negotiate parameter settings with each other. GRASP depends on an external security environment that is described elsewhere. The technical objectives and parameters for specific application scenarios are to be described in separate documents. Appendices briefly discuss requirements for the protocol and existing protocols with comparable features.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
