NeTS: Small: KPBase: Core of the Knowledge Plane for Network Management

该项目涉及信息库的核心要素，未来互联网知识平面的关键系统组件。 今天，Internet网络管理功能越来越少，或者能够解决我们的网络问题。 我们发现一个汇合点：目前的网络管理是一个人为基础的？家庭手工业？仅限于个人行政边界;网络在用户中变得越来越普遍和集中？生活 知识平面是一种新的网络架构组件，在政策之间的争斗中，需要可扩展性和分布性，以及信息的受控共享和交换的必要性，以提供尽可能多的自我知识，自我分析，自我预测和自我修复。一个重要的组件是信息收集，放置，在策略控制下可用并在同一策略控制下访问。这项工作迈出了第一步，重点是功能，使信息可用的能力，一个范围的方法，以允许可扩展性的互联网的大小，能够声明对信息的兴趣（会合），在政策控制下交付该信息。 还有进一步的中心方面，留给未来的工作，包括：有效的会合机制，真正有效的信息分发和交付，信任表达，和信息位置管理。 这项工作的贡献是，信息库是至关重要的测量和监控，以确保未来的网络基础设施高度可用。

This project addresses core elements of an information base, key system components of a Knowledge Plane for the future Internet. Today the Internet network management functions are decreasingly available or capable of solving our networking problems. We find a confluence of: current network management being a human based ?cottage industry? limited to individual administrative boundaries; and networks becoming increasingly more pervasive and central in users? lives. In the context of tussles among policies, there is a need for extensibility and distribution, and the necessity for controlled sharing and exchange of information, the Knowledge Plane is a proposal for a new component of the network architecture to provide self-knowledge, self-analysis, self-prediction, and self-repair as much as possible.An important component is the substrate in which information is collected, placed, made available under policy control and accessed under that same policy control. This work is taking the first step focusing on features the enable the ability to make information available, a scoping approach to allow for scalability to the size of the Internet, the ability to declare an interest in information (rendezvous), delivery of that information under policy control. There are further central aspects that are left to future work including: efficient rendezvous mechanisms, truly efficient information distribution and delivery, trust expression, and information location management. The contribution of this work is that the information base is critically important to measurement and monitoring required to insure that the future network infrastructure highly available.
