A PCE-Based Architecture for Application-Based Network Operations
Abstract
Services such as content distribution, distributed databases, or
inter-data center connectivity place a set of new requirements on the
operation of networks. They need on-demand and application-specific
reservation of network connectivity, reliability, and resources (such
as bandwidth) in a variety of network applications (such as point-to-
point connectivity, network virtualization, or mobile back-haul) and
in a range of network technologies from packet (IP/MPLS) down to
optical. An environment that operates to meet these types of
requirements is said to have Application-Based Network Operations
(ABNO). ABNO brings together many existing technologies and may be
seen as the use of a toolbox of existing components enhanced with a
few new elements.
This document describes an architecture and framework for ABNO,
showing how these components fit together. It provides a cookbook of
existing technologies to satisfy the architecture and meet the needs
of the applications.
