Over the years, policy-based management has emerged as a viable tool to address this challenge. Within the IU-ATC project, we are developing a policy-based framework, (Converged Networks QoS Framework, CNQF) for end-to-end QoS control and resource management in converged next generation networks. CNQF is designed to support QoS control and context-driven resource management policies across all networks (access, metro, core) on the end-to-end transport layer of converged networks. This paper describes CNQF and develops an exemplary use case scenario for policy-based resource management based on our CNQF architecture. The paper also presents the development of stochastic-analytic models to characterise and evaluate the impact of policies on operational performance. The model is used to analyse the performance of dynamic CNQF context-driven policies for admission control case study.","PeriodicalId":433520,"journal":{"name":"12th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2011) and Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129623968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The honeypot is designed to connect to a VoIP enterprise domain as a back-end user-agent in order to detect malicious activity at an early stage. Moreover, the honeypot can play a role in the real-time adjustment of the security policies of the enterprise domain where it is deployed. We aim, by this contribution, to encourage the deployment of such honeypots at large scale and the collection of attack traces. We test the capacity of the honeypot to handle a series of known SIP attacks and present results from diverse scenarios.","PeriodicalId":433520,"journal":{"name":"12th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2011) and Workshops","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127967770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, work is progressing to make IPTV an entertainment platform that can replace traditional TV for customers. Guaranteeing service quality is one of the most important factors to make IPTV services successful. For this, an IPTV service provider and a customer make a contract that uses specific quality indicators in a Service Level Agreement (SLA). To efficiently manage and guarantee SLAs, a method is required that can manage all hierarchical performance indicators from raw device level performance indicators to key quality indicators. In this paper, we analyze various IPTV performance indicators from various standard organizations and suggest an IPTV performance indicator hierarchy by extending the DEN-ng information model. Then, we propose an architecture that uses an ontology and Semantic Web Rule Language to manage SLAs, and more specifically, to detect SLA violations. The proposed architecture is implemented and tested using a simple scenario. The test results showed a possibility that the architecture can be used for detecting SLA violations.","PeriodicalId":433520,"journal":{"name":"12th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2011) and Workshops","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124399696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such environments, a key challenge is to develop scalable and adaptive technologies for management functions. This thesis addresses the challenge by engineering several protocols for distributed monitoring and resource management that are suitable for large-scale networked systems. The protocols are evaluated through theoretical analysis, simulation studies and testbed experimentation. The evaluation results show that the protocols achieve their respective design objectives with respect to quality, efficiency, scalability, controllability and adaptability.","PeriodicalId":433520,"journal":{"name":"12th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2011) and Workshops","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122414506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However in large, heterogeneous and complex networks where there are many services, many types of end-user devices, and huge numbers of subscribers, it is not trivial to monitor QoS and estimate the status of Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of end-terminals do not provide precise information about QoS which aggravates the difficulty of keeping track of SLAs. In this paper, we describe a solution that combines a number of techniques in a novel and unique way to overcome the complexity and difficulty of QoS monitoring. Our solution uses a model driven approach to service modeling, data mining techniques on small sample sets of terminal QoS reports (from “smarter” end-user devices), and network level key performance indicators (N-KPIs) from probes to address this problem. Service modeling techniques empowered with a modeling engine and a purpose-built language hide the complexity of SLA status monitoring. The data mining technique uses its own engine and learnt data models to estimate QoS values based on N-KPIs, and feeds the estimated values to the modeling engine to calculate SLAs. We describe our solution, the prototype and experimental results in the paper.","PeriodicalId":433520,"journal":{"name":"12th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2011) and Workshops","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122520335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
