Service Oriented Internet

Abstract

Abstract. Effective service delivery capabilities are critical to the transformation of the Internet into a viable commercial infrastructure. At the present time, the architecture of the Internet is inadequately equipped to provide these capabilities. Traditionally, overlay networks have been proposed as a means of providing rich functionality at the upper layers. However, they suffer from their own drawbacks and do not constitute a perfect solution. In this paper, we propose a novel, overlay based Service Oriented Internet architecture that is meant to serve as a flexible, unifying and scalable platform for delivering services over the Internet. As part of this architecture, we introduce a new two-level addressing scheme and an associated service layer. We also describe the functionality of the new network elements that are introduced, namely service gateway and service point-of-presence, and subsequently discuss algorithms that are responsible for distributing service reachability across the overlay framework. We also present a few examples of application services that benefit significantly when deployed on our architecture.

An Autonomic Service Delivery Platform for Service-Oriented Network Environments

“…Their naming architecture is flat in nature, and propose using DHTs to deal with scalability issues in such a system. Similar in nature to this proposal is the work proposed in [44]. They present a two-layered naming scheme for service lookup and routing.…”

A survey on the design, applications, and enhancements of application-layer overlay networks

“…The SON deployment model has been adapted by various authors in creating service architectures for various applications. The Service Oriented Internet (SOI) architecture [Chandrashekar et al 2003] is one instantiation of a SON overlay as a working infrastructure to provide VoIP. Another example, which we discuss next, is QRON which can be considered as an implementation based on the SON model.…”

A SERVICE DIFFERENTIATION ALGORITHM - For Clusters of Middleware Appliances

“…Typically, an enterprise network supports multiple classes of service requests (also known as service do-mains) (Menascé et al, 2001), (Chandrashekar et al, 2003). For the purposes of this paper, and at a highlevel, a service domain corresponds to a deployed application or related applications.…”
