Abstract. This paper describes a dynamic, scalable and extensible policy-based network management (PBNM) system that is fully integrated with a service provisioning architectures for active networks. The key result is network customisation according to the needs of the different service providers and its end users. Our component-based service provisioning architecture enables us to render service-and user-specific requirements, across single/multiple administrative domains, at deployment time and to dynamically map service components onto the network using the corresponding management policies. The architecture presented in this paper describes the approach undertaken by the IST-FAIN research project as well as the main issues that we encounter in developing and integrating the PBNM with the service provisioning mechanism.

“…In AN, access to the resources of the active nodes can be controlled; hence, partitioning of resources can easily be implemented. An attempt in this direction is the virtual active network (VAN) architecture [15,16]. In this architecture the network managers just define the user groups and the way resources are allocated to them.…”

“…In this way, the billing is more accurate. Additionally, in some AN architectures, such as the VAN framework [15,16] discussed previously, users may demand specific services and resources on specific nodes. This enables fine-grained SLAs that best meet users' needs.…”

Active networks is a promising technology that allows us to control the behavior of network nodes by programming them to perform advanced operations and computations. Active networks are changing considerably the scenery of computer networks and, consequently, affect the way network management is conducted. Current management techniques can be enhanced and their efficiency can be improved, while novel techniques can be deployed. This article discusses the impact of active networks on current network management practice by examining network management through the functional areas of fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security management. For each one of these functional areas, the limitations of the current applications and tools are presented, as well as how these limitations can be overcome by exploiting active networks. To illustrate the presented framework, several applications are examined. The contribution of this work is to analyze, classify, and assess the various models proposed in this area, and to outline new research directions.

Abstract. An active Web cluster system is an active network that has a collection of locally distributed servers that are interconnected by active switches, providing a Web application service. In this paper, we introduce the ALBM (Adaptive Load Balancing and Management) active cluster system that provides proactive management. The architecture of the ALBM active cluster and its underlying components are presented. We focus on system-level and service-level management of the active cluster system by presenting the corresponding proactive ALBM framework. The system-level framework considers performance counters of resource state dynamics; the service-level framework concerns service quality and proactive actions based on event occurrences. The experimental results on adaptive load balancing are presented in terms of system-level proactive management. In addition, a proactive event message service tool is introduced for providing effective services and management in terms of service-level proactive management.
