Abstract
Policy-based network management is intended to provide a system-wide and unified view of the network and its services and applications. This includes the combined management of network services as different as security, QoS or routing. However, while for IPsec and QoS there are clear models to define the semantics that a policy specification or language should implement, this is not equally true in the case of routing policies. This paper is intended to provide some results on the definition, modelling and deployment of routing policies using the Common Information Model (CIM). We also present the most relevant details of the implementation of our policy-driven routing management system, which has been successfully tested and used for the configuration of several relevant IPv6 IXes deployed as part of the three years Euro6IX (European IPv6 Internet Exchanges Backbone) EU IST research and deployment project.
