Abstract
The development and the deployment of wide-area Grid environments represent a new challenge for Next Generation Networks: not only is it necessary to implement network architectures supporting Quality of Service at IP level, but it is also essential to design and implement new network entities that monitor the network status, assure that network resources are allocated in an optimized way and interfaces Grid applications with network services, satisfying their SLSs. The paper presents the design, the development and the functional validation of a Grid Network Resource Broker (GNRB), a new architectural entity which handles the service requests coming from grid middleware (or from a single grid application) and, if necessary, allocates and reserves network resources.
