MetaNet: A Distributed Network Management System for Information Delivery and Planning with Quality of Service Guarantees

“…A prototype based on this architecture has been implemented. See [6] description of the resource management algorithms used in this prototype. While this prototype serves as an initial proof-of-concept system, there are some issues that merit further investigation:…”

“…This algorithm should be scalable to large numbers of networks and channels. A short description of the algorithm (QoS provisioning algorithm) is presented in Section 3; a more detailed description can be found in [6]. • Another major challenge is the definition of the abstract end-to-end network view that MetaNet provides to AIC and an algorithm for processing queries on end-to-end resource availability.…”

“…• Another major challenge is the definition of the abstract end-to-end network view that MetaNet provides to AIC and an algorithm for processing queries on end-to-end resource availability. The AIC-MetaNet interface is described in Section 2 and the algorithm is introduced in section 3; a more detailed description of the algorithm can be found in [6]. • To cope with multiple heterogeneous networks, the MetaNet architecture should clearly separate technology specific part from technology independent part.…”

“…This section presents a short description of two key resource management algorithms that have been implemented in the MetaNet prototype: QoS provisioning algorithm and bandwidth computation algorithm. More details about these algorithms including experiment results on the performance and scalability of the algorithms can be found in [6].…”

“…Finally, The source PoP uses Dijkstra's algorithm on the constructed graph to compute the maximum channel capacity between the hosts. A more detailed description of the algorithm can be found in [6].…”
