1. Summary
The document shepherd is Spencer Dawkins. The IRTF Chair is Colin Perkins.
This document poses questions in path-aware networking that were considered
open as of 2019, that must be answered in the design, development, and
deployment of path-aware internetworks. It was written to frame discussions
in the Path Aware Networking proposed Research Group (PANRG), and is being
published to snapshot thinking in this space.
2. Review and Consensus
This document was the first document adopted by PANRG, and was presented
and discussed at IETFs 100, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106, and at a pre-IETF 108
interim meeting. In addition to comments made during meetings, detailed
reviews were performed by Mohamed Boucadair and Theresa Enghardt. The research
group does roughly agree that publication for this draft is appropriate.
The text has been stable for most of the life of the draft, with most changes
in response to detailed review comments, and the most recent revisions
resulting from an effort to add a common description of "path awareness" that
could be used by other PANRG drafts.
