ATM VPN services: Provisioning, operational and management aspects

چکیده
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been recognised as a vital means for providing value added services over future ATM-based IBC networks. The multi-operator, multi-provider nature of the deregulated telecommunications market imposes requirements for one-stop shopping, complaining and accounting. The VPN concept aims at meeting these requirements and, moreover, advancing the current telecommunication environment by offering value-added services at a relative low cost and at an enhanced quality compared to the basic services offered by the network operators. In general VPN services are considered as an application of Intelligent Networks (IN). In this paper we introduce the concept of the Broadband Switched VPN (BX-VPN) as a means for provisioning VPNs on ATM based networks. We present the issues involved with BX-VPN provisioning and operation from the viewpoints of the network operators and the value added service providers (VASPs), with particular emphasis on the management issues. We show how the BX-VPN concept increases the manageability of VPNs, therefore increasing the flexibility in provisioning, reducing redundancy and inefficiency inherent in static configurations. We define the management services necessary for resource management and routing management at both the network operator and the VASP levels.

متن کاملAn architecture for broadband virtual networks under customer control
Emerging ATM-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) services offer customers a flexible way to interconnect Customer Premises Networks (CPNs) via high-speed links. Compared with traditional leased lines, these services allow for rapid provisioning of VPN bandwidth through cooperative control between customer and provider. Customers can dynamically renegotiate the VPN bandwidth according to their c...

Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs) based on Frame Relay or ATM circuits have been around a long time; more recently, Ethernet VPNs, including Virtual Private LAN Service, have become popular. Traditional L2VPNs often required a separate Service Provider infrastructure for each type and yet another for the Internet and IP VPNs. In addition, L2VPN provisioning was cumbersome.

متن کاملA Policy-based Network Management System for IP VPN
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 pr...
