Abstract:
Various network applications, such as virtual private network, cloud computing and Internet protocol television, are often provided across multiple network operators. One difficulty in managing quality of service across operator domains is the barrier for adoption especially to service level agreement-sensitive and missioncritical cases. Federating network resources among operators is necessary to manage quality of service across operators. To manage network resources of other operator domains, network operator’s federation mechanisms aiming at future of open access network model is designed. Mechanisms of the signaling process as well as the capability of the bandwidth broker are proposed for the open access networking, where multiple operators are connected via a common access network operator. Considering both next generation network and non-next generation network architectures coexist in the open access network, the design identifies functional extensions to existing bandwidth broker implementations for the federation signaling. The proposed design is prototyped and the demonstration results show that the federation mechanism can assure the bandwidth of targeted live data stream on demand across trunk and access network operators even under congestion.
