A bandwidth management method using available wavelength resources in backend servers for network services based on distributed components

Abstract

Recently, network services based on distributed components that provide services by using components running on remote nodes have attracted much attention. Advanced services can be provided at a lower cost by using existing components. We have previously proposed a method that ensures a stable QoS for each service by allocating components dynamically according to changes in access frequency. In that method, however, we considered only CPU resources rather than network resources. In this paper, we propose a method for providing bandwidth-guaranteed services stably by considering available wavelength resources in backend servers on a platform with a WDM optical network.
