Abstract:
This paper presents the prototype implementation of a Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) service over equipment using Carrier Grade Ethernet. The BoD multi-domain service is based on AutoBAHN (Automated Bandwidth Allocation across Heterogeneous Networks) software. The paper describes the steps that have taken place for designing and implementing a prototype technology proxy that is able to match the Carrier Grade Ethernet equipment with AutoBAHN, based on the implementations of the relevant standards and technologies by Extreme Networks. The equipment in particular is comprised of BlackDiamond 12804 switches, running ExtremeXOS version 12. The paper demonstrates how a suitable testbed can be created and utilized and how a new technology at the data plane can be supported by a Bandwidth on Demand tool.
