Considerations of AI-powered Autonomic Service Agent Communication

ANIMA defined Autonomic Service Agent to build intelligent management functions into network devices, and could interact with each other through a standard protocol (aka GRASP).With the rapid advancement of Large Language Model (LLM)-driven AI technologies, there is now a potential opportunity to enhance the ASA to be AI-powered, thereby elevating the intelligence of device-built-in management functions to a whole new level.This document analyzes the impact of the AI-powered ASA, mostly from the perspective of the ASA communication protocol.
