The distributed management and control plane [9] enables large-scale provisioning capabilities and supports the integration of independent NPs in multi-domain scenarios. Either the IntraNRM can be evolved to include CAN management functionalities, or a separate entity can be deployed.…”

Management driven hybrid multicast framework for content aware networks

INTRODUCTIONThe recent, and strong, orientation of the Internet towards services [1] has led to a closer coupling between the transport/network and service/application layers [2] aiming to increase the overall efficiency through cross layer optimization. This can be achieved by making networks more aware of the transported content [3] -content aware networks (CANs), or making applications more aware of network conditions -network aware applications (NAA).In parallel, recent developments of multimedia and content oriented services (e.g,. IPTV, video streaming, video on demand, and Internet TV) have reinforced the interest in multicast technologies. IP multicast has not been globally deployed due to problems related to group management, router capabilities, inter-domain transport, and lack of quality of service (QoS) support [4]. Overlay multicast, despite its lower efficiency, has emerged as an alternative [5]. In a complex scenario, a hybrid multicast, combining IP multicast with overlay multicast, can be attractive in terms of scalability, efficiency, and flexibility [6].Another trend, aiming to overcome the current Internet ossification by creating customized flexible networks, is to use network virtualization [7]. New business entities (Fig. 1), named virtual network providers, can offer customized virtual networks. In particular, services providers (SP) can deploy their services on top of some hired virtual networks without the burden of performing connectivity control. Such virtualized transport service can be deployed by network providers (NPs), either enhanced to become virtual NPs, or by cooperating with separate new entities that offer network virtualization. However, each NP still manages its own infrastructure. While full network virtualization is challenging in terms of seamless deployment, more "light" solutions can be attractive by being deployed as parallel data planes [8], logically separated but under the coordination of a single management and control plane. In [9], several research challenges related to the management and control planes are identified. The proposed solution addresses some of them. In particular, the guaranteeing of service availability in accordance to a pre-established service level agreement (SLA), guaranteeing QoS, supporting large-scale service provisioning and deployment, enabling higher integration between services and networks, and the capability of accepting new activated ondemand services.This work combines a light network virtualization of the data plane, combining IP multicast, overlay multicast, and point-to-point (P2P) communications in order to create a management ABSTRACTThe need for better adaptation of networks to transported flows has led to research on new approaches such as content aware networks and network aware applications. In parallel, recent developments of multimedia and content oriented services and applications such as IPTV, video streaming, video on demand, and Internet TV reinforced interest in multicast technologies.

International audienceThe current Internet does not enable easy introduction and deployment of new network technologies and services. This paper aims to progress the Future Internet (FI) by introduction of a service composition and execution environment that re-use existing components of access and core networks. This paper presents essential service-centric platforms and software systems that have been developed with the aim to create a flexible environment for an Autonomic Internet

“…Future Internet must tackle the lack of built-in facilities to support non-basic functionalities in order to offer service-aware functionality [1]. Traditionally, the growth of the Internet and convergent services in the IP layer has been solved, as far as performance concerns, by increasing bandwidth and computational power in the edge devices.…”

Abstract. Services based on packet switched networks are becoming dominant in telecommunication business and both operators and service providers must evolve in order to guarantee the required quality. Increasing bandwidth is no longer a viable solution because of the business erosion for network operators which cannot expect revenues due to the large investments required to satisfy new applications demand of bandwidth. This paper presents devices and a specific architecture of services monitoring platform that allows network operators and service providers to analyze the perceived quality of service and check their service level agreements. Thus, a cost-effective service management, based on direct IP traffic measuring, can be supported on integrated monitoring systems to provide network-centric mechanisms for differentiated quality of service, security and other advanced services.
