# Introduction

With the increased prevalence of microservice-based distributed systems, networking as a discipline has never been more critical in the efficient operation of cloud native deployments. Networking primitives, including load balancing, observability, authentication, authorization, policy, rate limiting, QoS, mesh networks, legacy infrastructure bridging, and so on are now receiving substantial development and investment throughout the industry.

## Out of Scope

Generally anything not considered in scope. The TAG may touch on physical networking hardware as it relates to the running of or interoperability of cloud native networking, but is not a stated focus of the TAG unto its own. See also Overlap and Relations with other Related Groups.

- CNCF App Delivery TAG - will be focussed on the development, deployment, operation and testing of cloud-native applications. We collaborate with this TAG where this pertains to Networking and Traffic, particularly around application deployment, debugging, and monitoring.
- CNCF Storage TAG - primarily with respect to service discovery as cloud native name services as related etcd.
- [Service Mesh Performance](https://smp-spec.io) - this project defines an industry standard definition for capturing service mesh performance profiles and a standard set of measures and metrics that represent those profiles with the goal of developing an open source standard index to understand these.
- Service Mesh Interface (SMI) - is a standard interface for service meshes on Kubernetes.
- Multi-Vendor Service Mesh Interoperation - specifies a set of API standards for enabling service mesh federation.

- Facilitate an understanding of **network services** and an expansion of the definition of what these are as existing types are reincarnated or new types emerge in a cloud native way.
- Evaluation of project proposals and facilitation of their diligence. Establish a framework for evaluation.
- Work on integrating common tooling into different projects, particularly where that tooling is a CNCF project (but the targets may not be).
