Abstract
Network management has been traditionally considered in
the last stages of the design and development cycles of
network technology. The typical modus operandi relies
mostly on networkers that manually configure active
elements, troubleshoot problems as they arise and
reconfigure equipment accordingly. In fact, we note that
several initiatives in the future Internet research area
do not take proactive steps towards developing
self-managing network architectures. This position paper
presents the first steps taken towards adopting
self-management from the initial design stages of Netlnf,
an information-centric, clean-slate architecture for the
future Internet, proposed by the 4WARD project. We
introduce a preliminary set of guidelines on how to apply
in-network management principles to Netlnf. Through
scenarios, we examine the advantages of tightly
integrating self-management functionality and network
awareness with actual service delivery in Netlnf. (21
