Bandwidth on Demand Deliverables

This deliverable will contain detailed technical documentation of the software components developed or adapted for the purpose of facilitating the automated provisioning/deletion of the intra-domain part of a multi-domain BoD service instsance. It will also document the deployment of the DM over the NRENs that will participate in the BoD service pilot installations and the integration with the existing provisioning tools and procedures.

The Deliverable describes the design of a Domain Manager (DM) for the Automaated Bandwidth Allocation across Heterogenous Networks (AutoBAHN) system (see DJ3.3.1 and DJ3.3.2)

This deliverable is an update of DJ3.2.2,2 "Second Review of Technologies Related to the Provision of Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) Services". It focuses on i) providing updated information on new technologies at the data plane, relevant to the provisioning of BoD-like services, ii) updating and improving technical information with projects that bear similarities with GN2-JRA3 iii) stating the results of the collaboration among GN2-JRA3 and these projects and iv) updating information on relevant standardisation activities and their applicability to GN2-JRA3.

This document describes the design specification for the first release of IDM module of the AutoBAHN system developed by the GÉANT2 JRA3 activity. This release is a migration of the prototype to a fully operational entity, with advanced reservation and transaction mechanisms on both inter-domain and intra-domain levels. The prototype has not only been extended with new IDM functionality, but also with real implementation of satellite modules, like DM or interdomain Pathfinder.

This deliverable describes different solutions in order to stitch several technologies for the provisioning of Bandwidth on Demand services in a multi-domain, multi-technology environment. It defines the Framework where stitching fits into and the Data model used for a general service definition.

Interdomain monitoring at Layer 2, while drawing uponthe lessons learned from Layer 3, contains many challenges specific to that area. Subsidiarity, where each domain gathers the information appropriate to its technology and presents an abstracted view to other domains, may be used to reduce the problem to those already understood and solved withinsingle domains.
