In this side meeting, we want to chat about secure Application Performance Management (APM) using CORECONF (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-comi/).

What to discuss

• Introduction to CORECONF

  • Ganesh Bhat, M., Bhattacharjee, S., G¨undo˘gan, C., Alexandris, K.,
    and Gogolev, A., “CORECONF, NETCONF, and RESTCONF: Benchmarking
    Network Orchestration in Constrained IIoT devices,” TechRxiv
    Preprint, 08 2023.

  • Karaagac, A., De Poorter, E., and Hoebeke, J., “In-Band Network
    Telemetry in Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks,” IEEE Transactions
    on Network and Service Management, vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 517–531, 2020.

  • Static Context Header Compression - How YANG and CORECONF are used in SCHC [FIOT5]

• What state-of-the-art implementations of CORECONF do exist?

  • Saif, D. and Matrawy, A., “A Proposal and Experimental Evaluation
    Towards Mass Configuration of Heterogeneous IIoT Nodes,” TechRxiv
    Preprint, 08 2023 (https://www.techrxiv.org/users/692470/articles/682590/master/file/data/saifQuicIoTManagement2/saifQuicIoTManagement2.pdf?inline=true)

    • “CoMI had little use because its specification was still under draft, and no open-source implementations existed at the time. Since Sinche et al.’s survey, CoMI was renamed to CORECONF and its working group have a GitHub project1 which does not appear to be ready for production use”

  • https://github.com/core-wg/comi

  • https://github.com/alex-fddz/pycoreconf

• What are use-cases of CORECONF in the context of APM ?

• Secutrity Aspects

  • How does CORECONF interplay with OSCORE?

  • Is managing a device via CORECONF secure?

Attendees, Background and Goals

• Fabian Graf (PhD Student at Siemens Germany and Inria Paris)

  • Background: I have just a little knowledge on CORECONF, but I am interested in how it can be used for Application Performance Management (APM)

  • Goal: Being able to use CORECONF to securly configure/ manage nodes in my network
