IETF AN Standardization Progress: Xing Zhao from CAICT discussed the status of IETF autonomous network standardization. He highlighted the progress made in defining concepts and frameworks for autonomic networking and intent-based networking. Xing also mentioned the introduction of AI into network management and the challenges that need to be addressed. He presented a draft on AI-based network management, which proposes a standardized common architecture for AI network management. The draft aims to provide a framework for AI network management, clarify its relationship with existing controllers, and define functional requirements for different scenarios. Xing concluded by stating that the standardization of AI agents in IETF is still in its early stages and needs to be accelerated in the future. Xing presented on the ongoing discussions about network management and the importance of natural language in the process. Jörg raised questions about the realization of the intent northbound API and the role of natural language in network management. Wadii suggested the use of reasoning capabilities in LLMs for troubleshooting and network management.
