Abstract:

   This document defines a "Semantic-Driven Shaping Contract".
   Traditional network protocols treat AI training and inference traffic
   as opaque byte streams, leading to highly inefficient scheduling.
   This contract allows applications or distributed training frameworks
   to explicitly pass "minimum necessary semantics" to the underlying
   network.  In exchange, the network commits to executing fine-grained,
   differentiated forwarding and resource allocation actions for tensor
   flows with diverse semantics, based on predefined rules and global
   real-time states.  This model significantly improves overall resource
   utilization and task completion times in heterogeneous computing
   networks, cross-domain intelligent computing centers, and integrated
   training-inference scenarios.
