Abstract:

   The Computing-Aware Traffic Steering (CATS) framework introduces the
   CATS Service Metric Agent (C-SMA) as the functional entity
   responsible for collecting service capabilities and status, and
   reporting them to CATS Path Selectors (C-PSes).  While existing
   drafts define the metrics and high-level framework, the concrete
   functional behavior, internal architecture, and operational
   procedures of the C-SMA remain underspecified.

   This document fills that gap by defining the functional
   implementation of the C-SMA.  Specifically, it specifies how the
   C-SMA collects metrics from multiple Service Contact Instances (SCIs)
   within a service site; how it validates, and caches these metrics;
   how it adapts to various control-plane protocols for metric
   distribution; how it enforces local policies and security policies;
   and how it maintains synchronization with the C-PS under dynamic
   conditions.  This document complements [I-D.ietf-cats-framework] and
   [I-D.zhangb-cats-service-metrics-op] by providing the operational
   execution layer for the C-SMA.
