Event handling is a management mechanism that provides means for the network to react on changes in the network conditions or performance. In the construction of a clean-slate management architecture, we consider this as a main building block. This paper proposes a fully distributed event distribution in a fully distributed environment: differently from existing works, no configuration is required...
Recent endeavors in addressing the challenges of the current and future Internet pursue a clean slate design methodology. Simultaneously, it is argued that the Internet is unlikely to be changed in one fell swoop and that its next generation requires an evolutionary design approach. Recognizing both positions, we claim that cleanness and evolution are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary...
This work proposes a probabilistic management paradigm for solving some major challenges of decentralized network management. Specifically, we show how to cope with 1) the overhead of redundant information gathering and processing, 2) the decentralized management in dynamic and unpredictable environments, and 3) the considerable effort required for decentralized coordination of management functions...
In the progressive development of IPTV technology, special attention is being paid at the assurance of an appropriate service quality to the end user. Several research and standardization activities are studying how to provide QoS for IPTV streams along the delivery path from the Head End office/video server to the end user. The customer's premise is the last part of this path, and the one that is...
In-network management (INM) is a new paradigm for the management of the future Internet that is based on the principles of decentralization and self-organization. Its goal is to overcome the limitations of traditional network management and to achieve scalable and robust management systems with low complexity for large-scale, dynamic network environments. In this paper, we describe a framework for...
The ITU-T definition of next generation networks includes the ability to make use of multiple broadband transport technologies and to support generalized mobility. Next generation networks must integrate several IP-based access technologies in a seamless way. In this article, we first describe the requirements of a mobility management scheme for multimedia real-time communication services; then, we...
