We propose an efficient resilient path management mechanism for BGP/MPLS VPN which can rapidly reconfigure MPLS paths in case of multiple link and/or node failure occurrences. An existence condition for finding a fast backup path which satisfies the resilience constraint is derived for a full mesh BGP/MPLS VPN. An efficient path-finding algorithm with O(n) computational complexity is presented. A simple example is presented to illustrate the operation and effectiveness of the approach.","PeriodicalId":260367,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.

The paper describes a model for automated policy-based construction of complex environments. We pose the policy problem as a goal satisfaction problem that can be addressed using a constraint satisfaction formulation. We show how a variety of construction policies can be accommodated by the resource models during resource composition. We are implementing this model in a prototype that uses CIM as the underlying resource model and exploring issues that arise as a result of that implementation.","PeriodicalId":260367,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.

Definition of scalable QoS mechanisms in the data path was a main objective. However, in order to provide guaranteed end-to-end reservations on demand the management of highly dynamic resource reservations by control entities (e.g., those performing admission control) must be scalable as well. This paper presents the DARIS architecture that provides a scalable management for QoS-based end-to-end services in the Internet. It defines a novel concept of dynamic and hierarchical aggregation of reservations, which operates on the network level of autonomous systems (AS). The aggregation concept reduces the managed reservation states as well as the number of signaling messages that have to be processed by management entities in intermediate AS. The aggregation concept was evaluated in detail using simulations including real Internet topologies.","PeriodicalId":260367,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.

Most broadband service operators provide all for a flat monthly fee, whether a user uses the full bandwidth all day long or just glimpses a few lines of news during the day. Furthermore, the fact that installed xDSL base subscribers have reached almost peak point stimulates broadband operators to develop a new paradigm of bandwidth utilization. Another inevitable reason for this paradigm shift is that broadband operators cannot guarantee fixed bandwidth any more against the explosive growth of usage rate. Because there are limited network resources, the effective bandwidth available to each subscriber totally depends on the bandwidth consumed by other subscribers. To overcome these limitations and give more flexibility and efficiency to the communication facility, we consider usage-based billing (UBB). UBB means the price for the subscriber is measured by usage in terms of amount of time or data. Against a flat fee policy, UBB relieves the burden of the monthly price for subscribers whose average usage rate is under bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":260367,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.

An indicator for this circumstance is the success of the IT infrastructure library and the enhanced Telecom Operations Map. A process-oriented view allows administrators to specify management tasks and to decompose complex tasks into process chains and hierarchies. Policy based management is a promising candidate for implementation of processes, as it delivers a powerful concept for the implementation of management tasks. Policies are well suited for large scale systems, as the distributed execution in heterogeneous environments is one of the important features of policy architectures. We introduce patterns for the automated generation of policies from process specifications. To achieve the translation between process and policy specification, we leverage common characteristics of processes and policies and define mappings that serve as generic translation patterns. The use of these patterns allows automated translation of process definitions to policies. The approach enables high-level, intuitive management specification, while taking a step towards augmented automation and integration at the operational level. We derive requirements imposed by the translation, and present ProPolis, a policy language incorporating those requirements.","PeriodicalId":260367,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (IEEE Cat.
