TEWG draft-cheng-network-engineering-framework-01.txt



Name of I-D:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-cheng-network-engineering-framework-01.txt

SUMMARY
This document outlines an early draft of a Network Engineering (NE) 
framework. It defines Network Engineering function and discusses the 
differences between Traffic Engineering (TE) and Network Engineering. 
It identifies network architecture and major functional capabilities 
for Network Engineering. Network Engineering provides a new set of 
capabilities to incorporate Traffic Engineering to optimize the network 
efficiency, operation, and utilization.

RELATED DOCUMENT
See reference section

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE TE GROUP:
This work fits in the TE-WG, where this document considers adding a
link/deleting a link to change topology for a classic TE. It incorporates
current TE work by providing an optimized topology.

WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG:
Network Engineering provides a new set of capabilities to incorporate
Traffic Engineering to optimize network resource operation, and 
utilization.

JUSTIFICATION
Network Engineering is a new area that a traffic engineering function
needs to consider. This draft initiates the work and promotes more
studies in this area.
