Secure User-Controlled Lightpath Provisioning with User-Controlled Identity Management
To allow user applications to securely make use of various lightpath resources distributed across multiple domains in a user-friendly and privacypreserving way requires identity management functionality. Identity and attribute information has to be provided by the user to allow for authorized access to these resources. An identity management framework can facilitate such information exchange. W...
متن کاملCustomer-managed end-to-end lightpath provisioning
Customer owned and managed optical networks bring new cost-saving benefits. Two types of such networks are becoming widely used: metro dark fiber networks and long-haul leased wavelength networks. Customers may invoke a special QoS mechanism where end-to-end lightpaths are dynamically established across multiple independently managed customer domains. The cost of bandwidth is substantially redu...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Hierarchical Inter-domain Routing in the context of UCLPv2
As customer-owned and managed optical networks gain more popularity with large enterprises and institutions, the need to enable end-users to dynamically provision and configure network resources inspires the development of the second version of User Controlled Lightpath Provisioning System (UCLPv2). The UCLPv2 software is based on a service-oriented architecture in which network resources are e...
متن کاملSignaling Protocols for Lightpath Provisioning
Challenges presented by the exponential growth of the Internet have resulted in the intense demand for broadband services. Providing bandwidth and connectivity on demand has risen to be an important goal of the service providers. To realize this, signaling in the optical network seems to be a critical component. Provisioning involves establishing a circuit from one client end system to another,...
متن کاملConstraint-Based Loose Explicit Routing and Signaling for Inter- Domain Lightpath Provisioning in Wavelength Routed Optical Network
In this paper, we propose a routing and signaling scheme to provision an end-to-end lightpath in a multi-domain optical network. The Constraint-Based Loose Explicit Routing (CBLER), the proposed routing algorithm, uses abstract network topology and resource information to compute an end-to-end constraint based loose explicit route. We propose a signaling scheme that can use either a forward wav...
