A Policy-based Network Management System for IP VPN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even though IP VPN has practically proven itself to be a cost-effective solution, the lack of centralized network management capabilities of current IP VPN deployment makes the management of growing VPN networks an extremely tedious procedure. This paper proposes to use policy-based network management method to address this challenge. Firstly, a policy-based IP VPN management architecture is presented, mainly explaining the operational components concerning the IPsec. Then a detailed discussion with respect to policy definition language and IP VPN policy information model is given. Finally, a case study for interdomain IP VPN configuration exemplifies the design and implementation of this management system based on the testbed developed in the Networks & Services Group of University College London (UCL).

Policy-based hybrid management architecture for IP-based VPN
Using IP-based Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) technology, a company can establish its virtual private network over public networks. Recently, IP-VPN emerges as one of main technologies for increasing business competitiveness with reasonable costs. The standards for IP-VPN are currently being developed by Internet Engineering Task Forces (IETF) and others. In this paper, we identify the limita...

Even though intelligent agent has proven itself to be a promising branch of artificial intelligence (AI), its mobility capacity has yet been paid enough attention to match the pervasive trend of networks. This paper proposes to inject intelligence into mobile agent of current literature by introducing ruledriven mobile agent so as to maintain both intelligence and mobility of current agent. Par...
متن کاملA policy information model for RFC2547-Like IP VPNs
This article presents a Policy Information Model for RFC2547-like IP VPNs. Policy Information Models are the key component of Policy-based Management. They describe a set of service specific policy conditions or policy actions, that are used to formulate the policy rules that formalize the managed service in the network. In this article, the principles of Policy-based Management are reminded, a...
متن کاملQoS Routing for IP-based Virtual Private Network Services
IP-based VPN technology is considered an attractive cost-effective private network service for both customers and service providers. We focus our research on the design of a minimal cost routing policy to be used by network-based IP VPN. The interest in such solutions is generated by both customers seeking to reduce support costs and by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) seeking new revenue sour...
متن کاملScalable IP-VPN Flow Control Mechanism
In recent years, IP-based virtual private networks (IP-VPNs), which provide a virtual privately owned network over an IP network, have attracted attention. With existing IP-VPNs, however, there is a serious problem that fairness among IPVPN customers is not satisfied. In our previous work, we have proposed an IP-VPN fairness control mechanism called I2VFC (Interand Intra-VPN Fairness Control) t...
