Abstract
-
The rapid development of IP network technologies offers service providers the potential to greatly expand the range and customization of IP connectivity services. However, these technologies are diverse, complex and ever changing. If they are to be relied upon, they must be managed to ensure that a consistent and coherent service is reliably delivered.;The Policy-Based Model for IP Network Management (PBNM) is an effort to provide scalable management of heterogeneous multi-service networks. The model is characterized by the creation of a distinct policy "layer", separate from the data transmission layer, which allows administrators to manage services using policy rules. It parses and verifies configurations for semantic correctness and consistency, and automatically distributes policies to various network devices, while hiding (to whatever extent possible) translations of service level directives into device configuration commands. In addition, the policy layer collaborates in aggregating device related information, coordinating management information across various sub-systems, and---in some cases---"closing the loop" between monitoring and control. To perform these roles, the policy layer includes a set of functions that provide configuration, management and control of the IP connectivity attributes. Such attributes include Quality of Service ( QoS), and routing policy.
