Abstract
Federated connectivity management represents many of the problems encountered in the development of multi-domain management systems for an open service market. This paper presents the key problems of interoperability across domain boundaries of diverse types. Three basic domain types are defined: administrative, technological, and service domains. Interoperability across the boundaries of such domain types are discussed and a simple model of interoperability is described. An example application of these principles is described through the Prospect VPN system architecture, which utilises the interoperability model as a structuring principle for separating between the system's core function and the required adaptations needed to accommodate differences of the supporting network management systems.
