Abstract:
To access the Internet, companies define a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Nevertheless, the current Internet does not assure Quality of Service (QoS), what points toward the concept of network virtualization and software defined network (SDN) to support the Future Internet. Moreover, the initial parameters defined in SLAs may not withstand traffic changes, resulting in a lower quality experienced by users and a waste of resources for ISPs. Within this context, this paper proposes an architecture to deal with resource usage variations. The proposal aims to enhance the QoS provided by the ISPs, while improving the usage of network resources in dynamic scenarios. Experiments using real traffic demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.
