Flexible Network Resource-Allocation Architecture Using Specification Injection
Masataka Satô, Shingo Horiuchi · 2019
To manage hybrid networks, telecommunications carriers should transform their network management architecture. We previously proposed a management architecture that has common management functions and data that are not specialized for a specific network. Using this architecture, carriers will be able to easily manage new networks to accelerate deployment. In this paper, we propose a resource-allocation architecture, which is an extension of our previous architecture. This architecture can manage the network-capacity amount and flexibly allocate it according to user demand. With this architecture, operation can be flexibly changed based on external specifications. This allows carriers to quickly release a new network service.
