OpsaWG, 

We recently posted a draft about a new concept, an "autonomic control plane". It is a self-managing overlay on top of the physical network, which is independent of config and routing. It can  therefore be used as a "virtual out of band channel", allowing access even in the case of (many) misconfigurations / routing problems.

We believe this is relevant to ops, and would appreciate your thoughts on the concept.
