A Service Oriented Architecture-based Approach for Interdomain Optical Network Services

  • Published:
Journal of Network and Systems Management Aims and scope Submit manuscript

This work presents a service-oriented architecture for interdomain service provisioning in optical networks. The architecture introduces a service layer that concentrates all the interactions among domains necessary for service provisioning. A service layer is an alternative to the GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching) architecture, but without a rigid control plane as found in GMPLS. We start by defining a set of basic services to provide single end-to-end (e2e) interdomain connections. Then, more sophisticated services are created through the composition of these basic services. The interdomain Optical VPN (Virtual Private Network) service is considered in order to illustrate the composition of services. A prototype of the architecture was designed and implemented using Web services as the main technology. The architecture was evaluated in terms of speed, scalability, and bandwidth consumption necessary to establish e2e interdomain connections and Optical VPNs.

Notes

  1. These connections can be established using any solution, for instance, GMPLS. The exposed services hide the technology used in the control plane inside each domain.

  2. The domain where the service request was received.

  3. We handle two types of traffic: High Priority (HP) and Low Priority (LP). By having these two classes of services we are able to apply grooming policies as shown in [23, 24].

  4. Since the charging model depends on local decisions, we have not defined a billing module for our architecture.

  5. We are not considering the client to E2ECS message since in some cases such request does not come from a Web service client but from a simple HTTP request without the SOAP payload.
