Annotation: This book covers motivation and requirements for automated service production and dynamic provisioning techniques in IP/MPLS Environments, a description of various use cases, enforcement of a traffic engineering policy, dynamic establishment and activation of filters and a detailed description of the technologies and protocols that may be used for these automation purposes. The author discusses the COPS architecture and the related protocol machinery as well as the NETCONF protocol. The text also describes the generic architecture of command platforms, and addresses the case of producing services over the internet, considering inter-domain issues.Customers and service providers will benefit from standardized tools and protocols to subscribe, negotiate and invoke a wide range of services, as well as the ability to dynamically allocate, compute and select the appropriate network resources so that they comply with the QoS requirements of their customers and the network planning constraints of the service providers. The corresponding technology relates to some recent efforts that have been launched not only in the industry but also in the standardization bodies.

Publisher Description:
Save time & resources with this comprehensive guide to automation configuration for the value-added IP services of the future.

As the Internet becomes the medium of choice for value-added IP service offerings such as TV broadcasting, videoconferencing, and Voice over IP, the ability of automating configuration processes has become a key challenge for service providers. In fact, this feature has become crucial with the ever-growing level of expertise required to deploy such services and the scope of the techniques that need to be activated in order to provide such services with a guaranteed level of quality.

Service Automation and Dynamic Provisioning Techniques in IP/MPLS Environments:

  • Discusses architectures and protocols for services information, covering the state-of-the-art in current implementations of Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), Diameter, Common Open Policy Service (COPS), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and NETCONF
  • Explains various application examples, covering the dynamic enforcement of QoS, security, and IP Traffic Engineering policies.
  • Covers the automated production of MPLS-based VPNs.

The authors offer an invaluable guide for IT facilitators, network managers, and researchers in industry and academia, as well as students studying advanced IP/MPLS networking communications courses. System designers and architects will also find this book helpful.
