This paper traces the history of policy-based management and how it evolved from the first security models dating back to the late 1960's until today's more elaborate frameworks, languages, and policy-based management tools. The focus will be on providing a synthesized chronicle of the evolution of ideas and research trends rather than on surveying the various specification formalisms, frameworks, and application domains of policy-based management.

This artic\e describes an approach to improve IP packet marking entering a Diffserv domain through dynamic policy provisioning and network feedback signaling. Trafik entering the network is dynamically tagged based on network congestion information reported by real-time resource monitoring and feedback alerts. This allows dynamic reallocation and management of resources based on current network state and applications QoS requirements. We present an algorithm dealing with video trafik and we enhance our architecture by using meta-policies which are stored locally in the edge router of the Diffserv network. Therefore, video trafiic can be marked with different PHB when entering the network. An evaluation of dynamic policy provisioning using a Java COPS and a Linux based network is also presented and evaluated over an experimental testbed.
