Talk Title: Policy Analysis for DiffServ Quality of Service Management
Abstract:
Policy-based management provides the ability to (re-)configure
differentiated services networks so that desired Quality of Service
(QoS) goals are achieved. This requires implementing network
provisioning decisions, performing admission control, and adapting
bandwidth allocation to emerging traffic demands. A policy-based
approach facilitates flexibility and adaptability as policies can be
dynamically changed without modifying the underlying implementation. Yet
despite various research projects, standardization efforts and
substantial interest from industry, policy-based management is still not
a reality. One of the reasons behind the reticence to adopt this
technology is that it is difficult to analyze policies in order to
guarantee configuration stability given that policies may have conflicts
leading to unpredictable effects.
The talk will describe a comprehensive set of QoS provisioning policies
from service management to traffic engineering, classify inconsistencies
that may arise between them, and provide an overview of the methodology
developed for their analysis.
