Abstract:
|
Several intra- and inter-domain quality of service
(QoS) provisioning mechanisms for IP networks have been
researched and developed using Differentiated Services
(DiffServ) technology. However, the incremental efforts needed to
manage DiffServ networks from a business-oriented viewpoint
have received relatively little attention. This paper addresses this
gap and presents a framework for achieving business-driven QoS
provisioning in DiffServ over MPLS networks. We provide a rich
model of SLA and business indicators as well as reasonable
mapping functions that define, with key degrees of importance,
the impact of business indicators over service management
policies. Business and service indicators are used to control static
and dynamic admission of services. The paper advances the state
of the art by considering the influence of business-level objectives
on the policy refinement process. We evaluate and discuss the
effectiveness of our approach through a simulation environment
that we developed over OPNET. |
