Building Open Programmable Multimedia Networks

چکیده
Recent advances in distributed systems and transportable software and increasing demand for better quality-of-service (QOS) control in multiservice networks are driving a re-examination of network software architectures. We established the COMET Group (Control Management and Telemedia) at Columbia University’s Center for Telecommunications Research to provide a comprehensive understanding of network software architecture of the 1990s and beyond. In this paper, we present an overview of our activities focusing on new research initiatives, international forum participation and on-going research projects. Collectively, these activities shape our vision of a new era driven by open programmable networking.

Realizing a Foundation for Programmability of ATM Networks with the Binding Architecture
A conceptual framework, called the Binding Model, for the creation, deployment and management of multimedia services on ATM-based broadband networks with end-to-end QOS guarantees is presented. The key function of the associated Binding Architecture is to provide an open programmable environment that facilitates the easy creation of flexible services. We describe the implementation of a prototy...
متن کاملProgramming QOS in Mobile Multimedia Networks
This paper presents an open programmable middleware platform for mobile multimedia networking called mobiware. Built on advanced distributed object technology including active objects, proxies and agents, mobiware, dynamically exploits the intrinsic scalable properties of multimedia content by responding to time-varying wireless and mobile QOS conditions. At the core of mobiware lies a novel ad...
متن کاملThe Phoenix Framework: A Practical Architecture for Programmable Networks
Programmable networks [1, 2] allow third parties to dynamically reprogram switches and routers in order to extend their functionality. This approach facilitates new capabilities such as dynamic reallocation of resources, automated healing from malfunctions and failures, customized information processing in network devices, and easier service creation. These capabilities enable rapid customizati...
متن کاملProgrammable mobile networks
Existing mobile systems (e.g., mobile IP, mobile ATM and third generation cellular systems) lack the intrinsic architectural flexibility to deal with the complexity of supporting adaptive mobile applications in wireless and mobile environments. We believe that there is a need to develop alternative network architectures from the existing ones to deal with the demands placed on underlying mobile...
متن کاملProgrammability and Service Creation for Multimedia Networks
The Binding Architecture is an open architecture for building multimedia networks that must guarantee Quality of Service (QOS). In this paper, we explore the notion of a service in the Binding Architecture and propose a conceptual model for building scalable multimedia distribution services based on it. We begin first by examining the relation between resources, their abstractions and the servi...
